The East Branch Nature Preserve is also an outdoor exhibition space with visiting exhibits that integrate art and nature. Michael Milton’s “Guidelines In Si-tu” is a featured installation at the East Branch Nature Preserve and was recently extended at the end of 2025 with a few new pieces. All are welcome to visit this installation as the East Branch Nature Preserve is open year-round.

Another recently added exhibit was “Snowcatchers” (below) which was installed on December 20th, 2025. “Sawtooth/Snow” are provided by Arena Arts Initiative using cutoffs from the milling of material for the future Francis Cape Project.

Also, in 2025 we said goodbye to the exhibit “Headwaters”, which was taken down in 2025.

Here is a last glimpse of “Headwaters” in the snow in December:
