Environmental
We strive to fulfill our mission every day by: maintaining over ten miles of trails, and providing homes in our exhibits for more than 40 habituated, rehabilitated, or surrendered native and non-native animals.
Education
We offer educational programs for children and adults, seasonal camps, and are proud to welcome over 35,000 visitors a year. Tanglewood is always free to visit.
Exploration
Our trails encompass various preserved habitats found across New York state, from the meadows of old farmlands, to the rounded hills formed by ancient glaciers, complex wetlands, deciduous forests, and expansive views.

Supporting Nature & Strengthening our Communities
Our Vision
The vision of Tanglewood Nature Center is to become a recognized leader in promoting respect and appreciation for our natural environment.
The Annual Appeal
The annual appeal is Tanglewood’s year-end fundraising campaign, inviting our community to support environmental education, conservation, and access to nature for all. For this year’s appeal, we’re inviting contributions to continue connecting people with nature through engaging programs, hands-on experiences, and conservation efforts. Every donation directly supports our animals, trails, exhibits, and educational outreach, ensuring these resources remain available for everyone to enjoy.
Goal: $30,000.00
