Sunday, June 8
10:00 am – 4:00 pm
Kick off summer with Tenafly Nature Center’s Nature Day, an exciting outdoor event perfect for the whole family!
Join us and our friends from other education-friendly organizations for a day filled with fun and learning.
This year’s theme, “Soaring Skyward,” celebrates birds, butterflies, and all things sky-related. Experience amazing raptors up close, slither over to meet a snake, or create art inspired by the beauty of nature that would make Monet jealous. Sing with the birds, glide across Pfister’s Pond in a canoe, or join a guided walk to explore the wonders of our forest. With over 250 attendees expected, it’s the perfect opportunity to connect with the community, support nature education, and enjoy a day surrounded by the beauty of nature. Your participation helps Tenafly Nature Center continue building community traditions and offering educational experiences that inspire a love of the outdoors.
Come celebrate the season and make unforgettable memories with us—see you there!
