From the deepest oceans to the leafy treetops – mothers of all species are caring for their babies with dedication and courage. Join us at IslandWood on Mother’s Day for a celebratory look at the lives of wild animal mothers and the work they do to nourish, teach, and protect their young.

We are creating a space for you to relax in a beautiful setting, and honor and nurture a mom or mother-figure in your life. Enjoy our wooded trails with your family, and find your way to our special interpretation stations throughout campus located at all your favorite trail spots: the Bog Treehouse, the Bird Blind, the Learning Tree, Creaky Tree Meadow, Mac’s Pond and our Forest Canopy Tower! Visit these trail-side ‘drop-in’ activities with your crew, or feel free to just enjoy our six-miles of trails as they pass by natural landscapes that soothe, captivate and inspire.

After you explore our campus, join us in the Dining Hall for a special Mother’s Day Tea, IslandWood-style!  Our menu includes a selection of fresh and seasonal bites, along with tea, coffee, and fresh fruit juices.

This event is family-friendly, so please bring your little ones! Dress comfortably and casually for a day outdoors.

Please check back soon for more information and a link to register!
