50th anniversary of Forsyth Nature Center in Kingston

Last Wednesday, June 8, board members, friends, volunteers and staff celebrated the 50th anniversary of Forsyth Nature Center in Kingston. The Forsyth Park Zoo was founded when a bear roamed into the park in 1936.  WPA built a house for the bear to keep it safe, and over the years animals slowly joined the Center.  Decades later, the Forsyth Nature Center has 24 animal exhibits and a dozen gardens that contain a variety of native flora found in the Hudson Valley.  Over the years, the resident peacocks have become the symbol for the Center and everyone who attended the celebration were given a molted peacock feather as a favor.

Lynsey Timbrouck, director of Forsyth Nature Center, greeted everyone while her 20 month old son Parker listened.
Zoo caretaker Mark De Dea put his hat on Franklin in celebration.
Former volunteer Caleb Berrios leads everyone in singing Happy Birthday.
