Duck Derby 2019
Mark your calendars for the 16th Annual Duck Derby. The race takes place on Saturday, August 10, followed by a festival on August 11. This is our largest fundraiser of the year!
Last year's winners just returned from their amazing trip to Portugal. Who knows—this could be your year to win the grand prize of dinner for two anywhere in the world (including round-trip airfare and lodging for two nights)! Or you could win one of our other amazing prizes.
But you definitely can't win if you don't enter, so get your ducks in the race! Thank you for the support, and good luck.

Spring is in Full Swing
Eastern Box Turtle
As sure as there are Eastern Box Turtles emerging, spring has finally arrived at Allens Pond and Great Neck! All around us, Tree Swallows are darting to and fro, Bobolinks are nesting in the grasslands, and our migratory Osprey are working hard to ensure the success of the next generation.
Come enjoy all the season has to offer with us—take a self-guided hike or try something new in one of our many classes and programs!
We hope to see you outdoors soon.
