Small Change, BIG Impact

This fall, the Museum will welcome three temporary exhibits centered around the theme of conservation: Victoria Fuller’s dynamic sculpture in FIND WHY: Vanishing Rhino, Nancy Macko’s The Fragile Bee, and SNOW: Tiny Crystals, Global Impact. Their unifying theme of impact to ecosystems through small changes leads the BSNS to consider how we all have a role in securing our natural world’s future.

We are kicking off these exciting fall experiences October 8 from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. with Small Change, BIG Impact, a family-friendly event celebrating local conservation efforts with local activist and conservation groups, ecologically innovative entrepreneurs, Museum affiliates, and researchers, to share their work on protecting Western New York, its people, and its ecology.
