Check Out the New Nicandri Nature Center in Massena

Volunteer Vicki LaShomb and Director Tracy Thomas explained all the free programs and adventures available at the new Nature Center located at the Robert Moses State Park in Massena.

A huge tank in the entrance is filled with turtles and fish. Every room is packed with information and fun things to do for all ages. Another room has all the information on animals and fish indigenous to this area including a bear, a bat cave and a live beehive. Also information on trees and insects, spiders, frogs and birds.

Check out their schedule at [email protected] for programs that include guided walks on the 5 trails, a walking club, yoga, a bird count program, a program for preschool children ages 3-5 years old, crafts and animal tracking programs. And now with the snow they have a room full of snowshoes and cross country skis available to hit the trails with no charge for fun. Thank you to Vicki and Tracy for a fun day on the trails and exploring the new Center. Photos by Deb Cook-Jacobs.
