Discover the Night
Sunrise
What happens as the sun comes up?
Early morning is a great time to explore the Pine Bush with the comfort of knowing the sun will soon rise. Hit the trails early in the morning and find a spot to watch the sunrise with friends and family. The dunes in the Blueberry Hill region of the preserve have a clear view to the east making this part of the Pine Bush a great place to watch the sunrise.
Start the day with us!
Watch this peaceful sunrise video to experience the pine bush as wildlife and humans begin to wake and start their day.
In the Daylight
Join one of our public programs! Fall Pine Bush programs will be very different than in the past. In response to current NYS phase 4 reopening guidelines, our new recurring Naturalist Walks will take place entirely outside and are open to only one individual, household or party. Please keep in mind that we have limited our program capacity to protect our guests. Try to limit the number of programs you sign up for so that others can participate as well.
Visit www.AlbanyPineBush.org/events for additional details and to make a reservation.
