Who we are and what we do
Amberations is a not-for-profit organization dedicated to supporting mental health through interaction with the natural environment.With almost 50 acres, we are located on the western edge of Onondaga county in Marietta, New York.
At our barn site our newly renovated barn allows opportunities to mingle with our sheep, ducks, chickens, and kitties. There is easy access to a small stream, teaming with frogs, minnows, and salamanders. A lovely deck adorns one end of our barn. It's a nice place to enjoy the sounds of nature and occasionally be visited by a Great Blue Heron. This is a wheelchair friendly area. Volunteers have planted pumpkin patches and herbs near our barn but ample space remains for additional landscaping projects.
In our upper fields we have started building wheelchair paths connecting perennial and herb gardens. There are also very nice trails through woods as well as through our protected songbird habitat.
Future dreams include a large pavilion where we will be able to host public gatherings including musical and acting venues.
Our goal is to nurture relationships with the community we seek to serve. Opportunities abound for getting involved in many capacities. If you like nature, the outdoors, gardening, animals, or helping others, please consider giving us a call.
Info sessions will be offered at your convienience, for individuals or groups. Please call to schedule your personal tour and find out how you can get involved. Once you are familiar with our grounds they are here for your enjoyment.
