Situated on 1,924 acres (778 hectares) in New York's mid-Hudson Valley, the Cary Institute of Ecosystem Studies offers visitors a range of recreational and learning experiences. Explore local habitats on our hiking trails and internal roadways. Interested in native plants? The Fern Glen is an outdoor classroom with a range of native plant communities and a bustling pond. Several woody collections, including pine and birch, are a reminder of the property's botanical roots. Ecological exploration, from work on Lyme disease to deer management, is constantly taking place on the grounds.
Summer is the perfect time to observe butterfly activity on our campus. Our Butterfly Guide and Butterfly Checklist will make your visit memorable and educational. The user-friendly guides contain vivid photographs and information on where to observe resident butterfly life.
