Nature-inspired works of art by students from local school districts will be on display in the John A. Weeks Interpretive Center at Baltimore Woods Nature Center from now through May 26.
The public is invited to view the exhibit Monday through Friday from 9 to 4 p.m. and on Saturdays from 10 to 4 p.m.
The nature center is located at 4007 Bishop Hill Road, Marcellus and there are no admission or parking fees.
“This is an exhibit that truly brings us joy,” gallery coordinator Karen Jean Smith said. “Connecting children with the natural world and educating children to become good stewards of the earth are among the primary goals of Baltimore Woods Nature Center. The creation and appreciation of nature-inspired art is one of the many ways of making those fundamental connections, and young people do it so well.”
