Utica Public Library is pleased to invite the public to "The River", an exhibition of photographs from the acclaimed Northern Forest Explorers Program. Join Artist and NYS guide Matt Burnett as he recounts highlights from 10 years of youth outdoor programming in the Adirondack Wilderness.

Over a decade of programming, Matt Burnett Guiding has partnered with several organizations aimed at expanding these opportunities to more communities. Many of the photographs in this exhibition include adventures featuring Midtown Utica Community Center, who have joined us for paddling, ice fishing and many other adventures. This collaboration introduced children to outdoor living, environmental conservation, and teamwork, helping them integrate and build essential skills in an inclusive setting.
