Programs, Events, & Services
Summer, fall, winter, spring… there’s always something to do here!
The Nature Center offers exciting programs and events.
Fun for All Ages!
There are several independent activities to enjoy at Pfeiffer Nature Center. Lillibridge has a self-guided trail that explores many facets of the forest. It is also home to the Lillibridge Trails, a multi-stage geocache with five waypoints loaded with fun activities for the entire family. Our seasonal podcasts guide you through the forest exploring flora and fauna.
We offer monthly guided nature walks on both properties with our Naturalist. Our year-round programs appeal to all ages and interests, time slots and talents. Nibble a topic for an hour or spend an entire day in an intensive hands-on workshop. Learn more about the natural world in an old-growth forest, a wetland, or meadow.
Weaving Natural Connections
See captive rehab birds up close in Owl Prowl, then hike through our woods to call in their wild cousins. Find and identify our little woodland creatures in Sala’Meander. Wander through our avian-friendly transition areas with a master birder in Breakfast with the Birds. Enjoy many winter activities including snowshoeing, cross country skiing, and sledding.
Get instruction from a professional artists in Watercolor Wonder, one of our intensive summer seminars, and leave the day with more than one finished work of your own, regardless of your starting skill level. Participate in events that increase your nature literacy.
Both sites are host to academic research and citizen science projects. Ask how you can get involved!
Nurturing Appreciation of the Natural World
Students, teachers, you too can experience the wonders of the natural world with your classroom in the Adopt A Tree program or during an advanced nature study program. Join in the fun.
Pfeiffer Nature Center Film Festival
Our annual Film Festival encourages amateur photographers from age 9 to 99 to creatively interpret our theme and create a very short video or automated PowerPoint presentation. All entries are judged by an impartial panel, and winners are shown at our Film Festival in the fall. Shoot your way to your 15 minutes of fame! Post a flyer in your neighborhood, learn about submission guidelines, and print an entry form. Now grab your camera and go outside!
