Review for Baltimore Woods Nature Center Inc, Marcellus, NY, USA
It all began when my first daughter was three, and we found a beautiful and unusual caterpillar in our yard. We drove right up to Baltimore Woods Nature Center, and they welcomed us with smiles and books and helped us identify it. Having my children attend the summer nature camp for 8 years now, as well as other fantastic programs throughout those years, our family is full of gratitude for Baltimore Woods! Our experience has brought us a deeper awareness of many things: the night sky, vernal pools and spotted lizards, where maple syrup comes from, entomophagy, (the practice of eating insects as food), bird and animal identification, and even a special connection with snakes, thanks to Miss Hiss, the resident pet! Perhaps more importantly, The Nature Center has welcomed & encouraged us into its woods along its trails and streams, letting the natural surroundings seep into our very souls and help the children to be whole. Thank you Baltimore Woods!
