Come celebrate spring with Cayuga Nature Center at our monthly Cayuga Coffeehouse Brunch! This May we have a plateful of opportunities for all ages from early morning to late afternoon. Brunch (served 10 - 12 pm) includes local and organic eggs, home fries, pancakes, and a number of dishes featuring local and regional mushrooms. This brunch is the debut of CNC's new cook, Micah Baker. At noon, we will begin an informal workshop and demonstration in the courtyard where we will inoculate about 30 Sugar Maple logs with oyster and shittake mushroom spawn. Join CNC Land Use Manager Steve Gabriel and Acorn Designs' Steve Sierigk for this highly informative and fun workshop. Suggested donation of $5 - 10 dollars. Also at noon, join us as we officially open our butterfly house for the season! We'll take a butterfly collecting hike and along the way learn the life, history and habits of our early season species. Meet at the lodge. Free! From noon until 2 o'clock you can head over to our high ropes course and safely challenge yourself anywhere from 15 to 65 feet off the ground! The cost per participant is $10 and pre-registration is requested, but not required. At one o'clock, come upstairs with your little naturalist for a special introductory session of our PeeWee Naturalists program!
