Spencer Crest Nature Center, Inc

CORNING. Intended as a living educational tool, this center teaches experientially. On its 250 acres are ponds, streams, and seven miles of trails – all available for exploration. Folks can also learn about the center's apiary (where bees are kept to produce honey) and check out its varying exhibits, which address everything from botany and local geology to archaeology and zoology. Recreation fiends can ski, fish, sled, and hike to their hearts' content on the center's trails and terrain.
