ANNUAL REPORT 2013GREENBURGH NATURE CENTER

2

Dear Friends, The Greenburgh Nature Center has truly come of age! The topics of environment, nature educati on, and sustainability can be found in every day headlines and by-lines, conversations, and vast social media engagements. In 2013, we were well positi oned with our professional staff and volunteers, to play a signifi cant role in serving as community ambassadors for nature educati on. Proudly and eff ecti vely, we strengthened the scope of dialogue and learning for the benefi t of our members, visitors, and neighbors. Our vast selecti on of programs and classes have always been popular and well att ended, and within this successful framework, the Greenburgh Nature Center initi ated new programs and events, such as mulching and recycling, teaching trails for environmental educati on, outdoor art classes, yoga and tai chi, as well as our first annual Farm-to-Table food and wine tasti ng at our Manor House and our first-ever golf outing! These events extended our relevance and reach, widened our appeal, and raised att endance and parti cipati on. We developed new working partnerships with local businesses and schools, and we will conti nue this meaningful connecti on with our local community. We encourage everyone to reach out to us with your ideas and suggesti ons, so that we can move forward with vitality and relevance. The Greenburgh Nature Center would like to thank the Town of Greenburgh for their generous support of our mission, and of course, we wish to express our warmest grati tude to our members and supporters – thank you for your support and parti cipati on. WE SUCCEED BECAUSE OF YOU!

Sincerely,Sincerely,

Bennett C. Fradkin President, Board of Directors

PROGRAMS, EVENTS, AND EXHIBITS

PROGRAMS FOR SCHOOLS AND GROUPS

Environmental educati on conti nued to be the foundati on of our programming at the GNC. A wide range of groups—from pre-school to seniors—enjoyed parti cipati ng in our programs, either at the Nature Center or at their locati on. Program themes included Animal Adaptati ons, Forest Ecology, Sustainability, Recycling, Pond Ecology, and more. We expanded not only the topics covered in our programs but also our physical reach. With an ever deepening relati onship with the Village of Irvington, we were contracted to provide nature-related programming at their newly built O’Hara Nature Center. These programs provided a richer level of exposure for the Greenburgh Nature Center within Westchester County.

In additi on to serving schools and groups from the local neighborhood, we hosted or visited groups throughout Westchester County and from New York City, Long Island, Rockland County, and Connecti cut.

FAMILY, ADULT, AND EARLY CHILDHOOD PROGRAMS

Weekend programming included a wide variety of off erings, from bird walks to composti ng and sheep shearing. We strived to bring our community relevant and interesti ng off erings, partnering with children’s book authors, puppeteers, and mushroom experts. We also off ered a wide range of adult programs, covering diverse topics in varied formats, including panel discussions with local green business entrepreneurs, movies with environmental themes, and presentati ons from environmental experts and writers. Our weekday early childhood programs for preschoolers and their parents or caregivers included a mix of nature fun, craft s, stories, and animal presentati ons.

SPECIAL EVENTS AND EXHIBITS

In additi on to our daily programming, we conti nued to present our popular special events during 2013, including our Maple Sugaring Party, Spring Celebrati on and Egg Hunts, Summer Music Fest, Fall Festi val, and Scarecrows and Pumpkins Parade.

From late June through early August, we presented Walk Among the Butt erflies, a reprise of our popular exhibit, which again att racted many visitors who were delighted to enjoy up-close encounters with nati ve butt erfl y species. This year, the added att racti on was locati ng the exhibit in a hoop house in the meadow, off ering a more natural setti ng.

Another warm weather off ering was Storywalk, which kicked off at the end of June and ran through September. Storywalk is a self-guided reading tour designed to enti ce visitors to explore our forest. This year’s literary off ering was the delightf ul children’s book, Chipmunk at Hollow Tree Lane, writt en by Victoria Sherrow.

In 2013, we hosted three very diverse art exhibits. In the spring, Stan Rubin exhibited his photographs in a display entitled Painting with a Camera from February through April. Todd Shapera presented landscapes from remote corners of the planet in his exhibit, Distant Landscapes, on display from May through July. In October through November, arti st Joan Strier presented her beauti ful and varied work, in a variety of mediums, including acrylic, ink, and rice paper (sewn and painted), in an exhibit titled Abstract Expressions in Nature.

In December, we conti nued our partnership with the Yonkers Model Railroad Club, hosti ng their popular exhibit Trains, Your Ticket to the Great Outdoors, a special holiday-season show that att racted both young and young-at-heart visitors.

ENVIRONMENTAL PROGRAMS AND INITIATIVES

In 2013, the GNC hosted 10 environmental programs in partnership with the Sierra Club Lower Hudson Group, all free and open to the public. Diverse program topics included presentati ons on: environmental goals of the Westchester County Board of Legislators Committ ee on Environment & Energy; a report on the Mid-Hudson Regional Sustainability Plan by Greenburgh Town Commissioner of Community Development & Conservati on; an update on the new Tappan Zee Bridge Project by Brian Connybeare, Assistant to Governor Cuomo; and a demonstrati on program on food and yard waste composti ng for homeowners and schools.

Through the support of the Westchester Community Foundation (WCF), and in partnership with the Southern Westchester Energy Acti on Consorti um (SWEAC) and the citi es of Yonkers and New Rochelle, the GNC was contracted to manage a $50,000 matching grant from the Urban Sustainability Directors Network and the Westchester Community Foundati on to run educational campaigns for the Love ‘Em & Leave ‘Em leaf mulching initi ati ve in the citi es of New Rochelle and Yonkers. In fulfi llment of this grant, 13 mulch-mowing programs and demonstrations were conducted between the two citi es, and an esti mated 400 landscapers and homeowners were introduced to the benefits and techniques of mulch-mowing fall leaves. A high-visibility media and internet campaign was also conducted and can be viewed on www.leleny.org.

ORCHARD/MEADOW RESTORATION

As a result of the generosity of Nature Center supporters, we are moving ahead with the restorati on of our meadow area. In 2012, SavATree provided both man- and machine-power in an eff ort to clear a large area of our property adjacent to the visitor parking lot. Originally an apple orchard, and sti ll the home of nati ve box turtles, this secti on of the property had only one remaining apple tree and had long been overgrown with invasives, which have now been removed.

In 2013, Bill Boyce, Owner and Principal Landscape Architect of Biosphere, helped us begin the area’s transiti on into a meadow, to be populated with newly planted native species. We also constructed an organic beehive in this area. In addition, we relocated our annual butt erfly exhibit to the meadow, kicking off the Center’s goal of making this area a focal part of our educati onal programming.

FUNDRAISING

In May, the Nature Center hosted its fi rst Farm-to-Table dinner, which brought in local restaurants, bakeries, and wineries in support of our cause. Guests gathered to share a delicious meal as we promoted sustainable practi ces in our community. Photographer and Pleasantville resident Todd Shapera presented some of his outstanding landscape works featuring ecologically sensitive habitats. Farmer and foodie Josh Viertel, former president of Slow Food USA, spoke about providing greater access to good, clean, and fair food.

The Nature Center also successfully held its First Annual Golf Outi ng and Recepti on in September at the Scarsdale Golf Club. The outi ng grossed almost $50,000 for the Nature Center - our largest fundraiser to date. Through the commitment of our staff , Board members, and volunteers, we secured sponsorships from new business partners, donati ons of over 40 items for the silent aucti on, and almost 50 golfers who had a great day of golf. Evening recepti on att endees had the pleasure of viewing a “Then and Now” exhibit that displayed through maps and photos the changes in the physical landscape of the area.

SUPPORT

The GNC conti nued to have a broad-based support system which included government funding from the Town of Greenburgh, Westchester County, and New York State; private funding from individual contributions and membership dues; corporate funding, including corporate and foundation grants, matching gift programs, business sponsorships, and in-kind donati ons; and grounds and building maintenance support from the Town of Greenburgh.

The Town of Greenburgh conti nued to provide generous funding to support all aspects of our mission as well as important support services to help improve the appearance of the GNC. Conti nued fi nancial support from the Westchester County Department of Parks, Recreati on, and Conservation allowed the Center to conduct nature educati on programs at a discounted rate for at-risk Westchester school children and also helped to underwrite community weekend events and environmental forums for adults. Funding from New York State included $36,587 as part of the Zoological and Botanical Gardens and Aquarium (ZBGA) program supported the ongoing care of the Center’s living collecti ons, encompassing some 130 live animals and a diversity of plant species.

A generous $20,000 grant from Con Edison enabled the GNC to expand its outdoor trail program, training high school volunteers to conduct free public tours and making the Center’s trails more welcoming for visitors. This newly created program enti tled Teaching Trails: A Community Path for Envirnomental Educati on has been very popular. We also received a $50,000 matching grant - $25,000 from Westchester Community Foundati on and $25,000 from the Urban Sustainability Directors Network - for public educati on campaigns in Yonkers and New Rochelle. Through a $10,000 grant from St. Faith’s House Foundati on, the Center launched place-based educati onal programming for 4th-6th

MEMBERSHIP

Membership dues and personal donations were at a record high and came from our growing base of individual supporters. We conti nued our eff orts toward engaging members by off ering free monthly events and member discounts at all of our large weekend programming. Our membership numbers were slightly over 1,000. In total, 39% of our 2013 memberships came from Greenburgh residents, with the remainder coming primarily from other Westchester County locales, as well as from New York City and beyond. Our various membership categories helped to engage visitors and encourage a variety of membership levels. Over 80% of our memberships were Family Memberships (two adults with their children), and another 14% included grandparents with their grandchildren.

SPREADING THE WORD

Relati onships with the media conti nued to be strong and helped us spread the name of the GNC. We were thrilled to be named “Best of Westchester” for our playground and aft er-school programs by Westchester Magazine and its readers. Through press releases, adverti sing, guest appearances on local TV and radio stati ons, and social media, we conti nued to increase awareness of the GNC. Free programs, appearances at local sponsor, town, and county events, and community forums all helped to introduce the GNC to a wider audience. In additi on, Free Family Guest Passes and Children Passes increased visitati on to the GNC. These were distributed through various media channels, by our sponsors, and at off -site events. We encouraged everyone who visited us to sign up for e-blasts as well as to join us on Facebook and Twitt er, in order to receive the most up-to-date news from the Nature Center.
