The Forsyth Nature Center is a nonprofit, all-in-one community recreation facility that includes everything from a small 24-exhibit zoo to a self-guided interpretive trail and dozens of programs that local residents and visitors alike can sign up for. Taking advantage of the nearby Hudson River, employees and volunteers lead educational hikes, offer paddling and kayaking trips for both beginners and experts, offer bird identification walks and conduct season-specific courses in classes like maple sugaring and birdhouse building.
