Mission Statement
Our mission is to educate and to promote conservation, research, and appreciation of nature and the environment while preserving the natural and historic character of our property.
Description
The Greenburgh Nature Center (GNC) is a 33-acre nature preserve with trails, a pond, an old orchard succession site, and gardens. More than 70,000 visitors come to the GNC each year. The property is a significant wildlife habitat refuge, both for indigenous species and for the hundreds of species of migratory birds that use it as a resting place on their spring and fall travels.
The GNC hosts birthday parties and special programs for groups of all ages on a wide range of environmental topics, either here or at off-site locations. We also offer numerous outreach and on-site environmental education programs for children, adults, and families.
