Baltimore Woods Nature Center is a not-for-profit place-based nature education organization. Our mission is to connect people with nature, both from the headquarters on 180 acres of land in Marcellus, NY, and from satellite programs in urban areas.

Our goal is to give people of all ages opportunities to enjoy and learn about nature first-hand.

BWNC offers year-round programs to our members and to the public, as well as school programs.

Our Nature in the City programs bring nature education to urban youth.
