Nature Bus


Connecting people to nature one stop at a time!

Mohawk Hudson Land Conservancy and CDTA have partnered to connect Albany City residents to nature. This
free bus service brings you to popular outdoor locations where you can enjoy free programming on most weekends. Take a guided walk, try out bird identification, or simply get to know nature... there’s so much to do!

Stay tuned for the Summer 2025 schedule!
