The Huyck Preserve

The Huyck Preserve and Biological Research Station has been connecting people to nature for over 80 years! We host events, educational programs, hiking, swimming, and kayaking.

Summer Programs like Nature Study (K-5), Ecological Explorations (6-8), and Wildlife Ecology Research Day Program (9-12) provide unique field-based learning experiences by giving students the opportunity to explore nature, ask questions, and carry out research projects while learning about the various facets of field biology.
