Brown Family Environmental Center Calendar

Local artist Paige Hashman invites us into a personal journey of transformation and self-discovery. Through acrylic and clay, this body of work offers a visual narrative of returning home to oneself after a time of challenges and growth.

This annual event features horse-drawn hayrides, pumpkin decorating, live music, cider press, and children's games and activities.

Celebrate color with a basic introduction (or knowledge refresh) of using pastels in an outdoor painting workshop.

Join the BFEC for a treasure hunt around the property that ends with a campfire and s'mores! There might even be candy involved. Costumes are very welcome!

Join the Brown Family Environmental Center for a poetry reading and writing workshop with Assistant Professor of English Andrew Grace.

Caw, caw, calling all crow fans! What do crows know that we don’t? Join us for a fun and fascinating family program all about one of nature’s smartest (and most misunderstood) birds — the American crow!

Join Associate Professor of History Patrick Bottiger for a free, hands-on workshop that will guide participants through the process of seed saving from the initial act of planting through cultivation, harvest, seed extraction, drying and storage.

From worms to geese to raccoons, the animals at the BFEC are quite different. But they all need to sleep! Join us for a reading of our new picture book that follows Rocky the raccoon as he meets different animals during his search for the perfect place to sleep.
