ECSS: Sweetbriar Nature Center is a private not-for-profit corporation which exists to provide natural science education services for Long Island residents of all ages and to engage in native wildlife rehabilitation services. Through education and examples, ECSS encourages responsible decision making, appreciation, and respect for the unique wildlife and ecosystems found on Long Island.
Anyone can become a "friend" to one of our resident animals or animals who have been rescued and are being rehabilitated for release into the wild.
All summer long from July through September the enclosed Butterfly and Moth Garden at Sweetbriar Nature Center in Smithtown is open to the public. Come on down and enjoy a variety of beautiful flyers. As a special treat children can become detectives and search for clues to their amazing life cycle. Children can also color in a butterfly to take home with them.
