Programs

In the Field: Albany Pine Bush Summer Series brings New York State Museum scientists out of the building and into the globally rare pine barrens ecosystem for hands-on exploration. This offsite program series invites participants to experience field science in action through guided walks, demonstrations, and real-time research with Museum experts and Albany Pine Bush staff. Each program offers a unique opportunity to engage with the region’s dynamic ecosystems while learning directly from scientists working in the field.

Moth Mania

This evening program is focused on attracting, observing, and identifying moths in the Albany Pine Bush Preserve—home to one of the most diverse and fascinating moth communities in the Northeast, including many species that have adapted specifically to live in pine barrens. Join Albany Pine Bush staff and NYS Entomologist Dr. Timothy McCabe to spend an evening observing and documenting moths in the preserve. Participants should plan to do some light hiking.
