For many of us, this last year's been like pushing a rock up a hill. That's why Artpark is pleased to present a summer-long experience that's more like a walk in the park ... literally! Throughout the summer at Artpark, your key to expansive horizons, endless epiphanies and sensory delights will be right in your pocket: an immersive, choose-your-own-adventure to be experienced alone or with loved ones. Artpark's Sonic Trails are site reactive audio experiences presented in a mobile app. With a hyper-local and global perspective we have brought together some of the most influential BIPOC voices in music to cultivate aural experiences exploring the unique geological and historic features of Artpark.

Home Ecologist is a program geared towards home school families with children primarily ages 6-12. Each month will focus on a different theme. Programs are free of charge, and pre-registration is required. Children must be accompanied by an adult for the entire program. Pre-register by contacting the Humphrey Nature Center, 585-493-3682. Due to COVID-19 pandemic, all programs will follow social distancing and face covering guidelines. Face coverings are always required in all enclosed structures.

Some insects are much more active at night. We will discover the moths and other insects are attracted to UV lights and baited trees. Pre-registration required; call 716-683-5959.

Load up the car and head to Alexander to enjoy a classic movie under the stars! Concessions will be available and covid protocols will be in place. Please use the Walker Road entrance. Gates open at 5:30 and the movie starts at dusk.

Join us once again at the Lillibridge Property for a new storybook adventure along our Storybook Reading Trail for the young readers in your life. Read the tale I am Earth: An Earth Day book for kids on the Interpretive Trail ( Griffin’s Way– an easy, .36 mi round trip trail) as you wander through our old growth hemlock forest. The storybook pages are held in place by our gentle giants for you to read as you pass by. Be sure to read both sides of the tree! See our map at the Lillibridge kiosk to find where your adventure begins. The book will be available beginning Friday, April 16th through the month of May and although the book is a great kick off to celebrate Earth Day on April 22nd, every day is Earth Day at Pfeiffer Nature Center so the book is a great read year round! The Lillibridge Property is located at 1974 Lillibridge Road, Portville, NY. We would love for you to share pictures and let us know how you enjoyed your visit by e-mailing naturalist@pfeiffernaturecenter.org Enjoy the wonderful outdoors! Pfeiffer Nature Center is supported by United Way funding. Pfeiffer Nature Center where science, art & nature come together.
