The Green Chimneys Clearpool Campus is a premier outdoor education center and recreation facility for nature-based education and discovery. Located on 350 acres of natural woodlands, Clearpool offers a spectacular setting for school students and community groups, families, and anyone who wants to experience nature in a unique, year-round environmental exploration setting. An array of programs includes nature study, adventure learning, seasonal activities, day or overnight excursions, and summer camp.
Countless ecological resources and extensive wildlife make Clearpool a dynamic wilderness education classroom, retreat and conservation site for all ages. Protected woodlands include more than five miles of forest trails, a natural lake, marsh, wetland, and extensive stream system, and numerous habitats containing diverse populations of plants, birds, and animals.
In March of 2019, Green Chimneys received a call from the Department of Environmental Conservation regarding an injured Bald Eagle. Examination revealed that the eagle’s elbow joint was shattered, and Green Chimneys vowed to rehabilitate the bird. While once hopeful that the eagle could be released, further assessment has indicated that the damage to its wing means that it can no longer live safely in the wild. Green Chimneys is proud to be one of the few places in New York State that has the proper licenses and permits required to rehabilitate and care for Bald Eagles.
