Participants will explore the northern end of the Cayuga Lake watershed, focusing on the wetlands of Montezuma National Wildlife Refuge and their role as natural filters that help remove pollutants, toxins, and sediments from the water. The program includes close observation of the diverse plants and animals that inhabit this ecosystem, emphasizing its ecological significance. Following guided exploration, participants will engage in a hands-on activity to design and build simple water filtration systems using provided materials, applying concepts of filtration and testing the effectiveness of different approaches.
Hands-on and interactive, involving building demonstration water filters, observation, and group discussion. No prior experience needed.

What animals migrate? The answer may surprise you!
Join us for a fun and informative program all about the species that migrate and the reasons behind their incredible journeys. We’ll meet some of our animal ambassadors who could migrate in the wild, then take a short walk through our pollinator garden and around the pond to look for migrating butterflies or birds.
Feel free to bring your own binoculars if you’d like to do some birdwatching!
Registration is appreciated
Participants will explore connections between land use and water quality through a visit to Laughing Goat Fiber Farm in the southwestern portion of the Cayuga Lake watershed (Town of Ithaca). This working farm raises angora and cashmere goats, alpacas, and sheep to produce specialty fiber yarns and finished goods. During the experience, participants will observe how the farm manages animals and land and consider how agricultural practices can influence surrounding waterways and overall watershed health.
The visit includes a guided farm tour followed by a facilitated, hands-on learning activity. After the tour, participants will gather in a shaded area to engage with an Enviroscape watershed model to explore how topography, runoff, and human activities interact and influence water movement and water quality within a watershed system.
