Embrace the fun of the freshly fallen snow with a snowshoeing weekend adventure. Don’t worry if you don’t have your own snowshoes as they will be provided for you. This snowshoeing self-guided program allows you to explore on your own time and at your leisure. This program offers use of Saunders Finger Lakes Museum snowshoes for three evenings, with pick up from the SFLM office in Branchport by Friday at 5pm and return to the SFLM office by noon on Monday.

Snow + snowshoes = a great weekend of chilly thrills!

Join Montezuma Audubon Center staff at Buttonwood Grove Winery (5986 State Route 89, Romulus, NY 14541) for a winter birding and wine excursion! We will embark on a guided leisure hike along Buttonwood Grove's vineyard trails to see what birds and wildlife are wandering and flittering throughout the vineyards. Bald Eagles frequent the area so we will keep our eyes open for a Bald Eagle sighting. After our blood is pumping from our excursion, we will cozy up around a fire with a wine tasting and chili pairing presented by Buttonwood Grove. We will finish out this event with a live bird of prey presentation by Daena Ford of Braddock Bay Raptor Research to give everyone a closer look at their raptor ambassadors. We will be outside for the majority of the event so please dress accordingly! This event is 21+ and the winery staff may ask for identification.
