| Our Saviors School visited the PB in June 2008. The tour/walk was a wonderful learning experience, and both my students and I had a fantastic day. We especially want to thank Erin Kinal for her very informative tour & the remarkable manner in which it was guided. The kids discuss frequently how much they enjoyed this experience & learned from the program. We will definitely be back next year! Thanks again APB and staff for an overall fun day. See you again soon! |

| I just came out for the bird survey training. What a beautiful place!!
I am a school teacher and would love to bring some middle school students out there. Please be in touch about that at the email listed above.
Also, upon driving home, I thought about those 44 rare species. It's an honor to get to visit them. I want to be sure I know all the guidelines that ensure my visits -- and those of my students -- have no negative impacts upon the species. You'll be clear with us about that, right? |

| Enter your comments here...Hello-
I am a Webelos Cub Scout leader in Slingerlands,NY. I'd like to work on our Naturalist badge at your preserve. We need to identify an animal/insect that is found only in our area of the country: The Blue Karner Butterfly! There are other criteria to cover in the badge program that would also need to be discussed. If this is something your organization can do, please contact me. I'm hoping to visit sometime in late April/early May on a Sunday afternoon. My den has 12 boys plus chaperones.
Thank you for your attention.

| Wonderful learning experience for grandson and grandparents too! Outstanding displays. Look f'wd. to seeing ph 3.
one simple display suggestion for the "Finding Common Ground" balance scale. - magnatize the scale where you place the weights with the same material which holds the weights on the wall. That way the weights won't fall off when children move the weights. |

| Very nice! I will amke sure my 7 year olds get here often. Btw -- Is there any chance that you can set aside part of your effort researching ecologically considerate energy developments? With the Tech Valley initiatives and with RPI, SUNY's, Rockefeller Program, and Land Use Programs, and Union College, and with GE, et al. There must be a bunch or organizations and individuals willing volunteer to support such exhibits and initiatives. |

| We truly enjoy the Discovery Center as a family and really thought the preschool programs we attended were so wonderful. I told everyone I knew and now as I try to register it looks as though they listened to me. All of the pre-registration for the preschool programs is full. Is there any way to still attend? Truly interested in continuing my children's interest in the Pine Bush. Please let me know what your policy is with these programs.
Thank you very much,

| I love the interactivity at Pine Bush, because it is so much more interesting than just reading plaques on the wall. I really think it helps youngsters like my sister learn better and absorb more information than justing reading things. Thank You. |

Everyone who works there are so very nice and make you feel welcome to be there. I have told several others and they were there today and kept thanking me for telling them about it. Keep up the great work you do, its very much appreciated! |

| I heard that one year you collected seeds from the wild flowers in the pine bush, to help the Karner Blue, Will you be doing this again this fall? I'd like some seed for my garden, I live in a developed part of the pine bush

| I accompanied a group of local 10th and 11th graders from 6 different schools, and none of them had ever heard of the Pinebush before. Mary Ann gave a very good guided hike, explaning to the significance of the Pinebush and its rebirth. I was very impressed with the organization of the material and how she was able to interest the students in the area. The Discovery Center is very well done. Congratulations on the rebirth of the Pine Bush! |

| Thank you for having a city that is very educational. we came here to camp at Thompson Lake State Park for the week of 14-21 of July. my neighbors daughter is at Unon College for this time attending National Scholors. We have enjoyed the nature center (Emma Thatcher) Thatcher State park, Fms Butterfly open house and now Albany Pine Bush it has been great. We will be returning next summer with more people to educate them. |

| This is a wonderful exhibition! I just wish that you had given some credit to the organisation that made it all possible - who fought for years and tirelessly to prevent the land from being sold and built on. Of course I am referring to the Save the Pinebush.
