Please donate to the Cayuga Nature Center today!
This year we celebrated 30 years of enjoying summer camp, hiking nature trails, and experiencing animal programming. The Nature Center remains an important resource in the Ithaca community and beyond. Support our efforts to continue sharing the Nature Center with everyone!
Here are some reasons to give today:
Our Phenomenal Staff
We are very pleased to note that, as a direct result of the impending merge with PRI, we were able to increase our full-time staff from three to six as well as provide benefits such as health care.
Our Live Animals
Help us maintain our animal collection – your gift will be used for a variety of needs including: food, shelter, and vet care for Mr. Prickles the hedgehog, Bella, Machi and Elvis the snakes, Luna our fox, Gaji the hawk and a host of others.
Camp
Help us continue to offer one of the best camp experiences in the region – your gift will be used for a variety of needs including: craft supplies, games, age-appropriate books, staffing and other resources.
Trails
Help us maintain our facilities – your gift will be used for a variety of needs including: purchasing larvae and plants for our Butterfly Garden, maintaining our 10 small stream bridges, purchasing equipment such as a wood chipper, and buying mulch and stone dust to maintain the trail surfaces.
NOTE: You will be transferred to a secure order form at the website of our affiliate, the Paleontological Research Institution.
