MUSHROOM RAMBLE
September 10, 2016 @ 5:00 am - 8:00 am
The Esopus Creek Conservancy, in conjunction with the 17th Annual Hudson River Valley Ramble, is sponsoring a guided mushroom walk on Saturday, September 10, 2016. Autumn can be a very productive time of the year for mushrooms when soil moisture is favorable. George Johanson will guide us as we explore a local woodland in search of ground and wood-dwelling mycelia.
Meet 9:00 a.m. in the northeast corner of the Saugerties Plaza (near the Credit Union) on Rte. 9W just south of the Village of Saugerties. We will carpool to the location.
Bring field guides and cameras if you have them. Collecting is not permitted. Be prepared for potentially wet/muddy conditions and moderate rain. Heavy rain cancels the walk. Children are welcome and encouraged, but please do not bring pets.
Pre-registration is required. Contact Steve Chorvas (schorvas@gmail.com) to register, or for additional information or directions. This HRV Ramble event is free and open to the public, but will be limited to a maximum of 20 participants. For more information about additional HRV Ramble walks, hikes, paddles, river and estuary explorations, visit www.hudsonrivervalley.com. For additional information about upcoming ECC Nature Walks and Paddles, please visit www.esopuscreekconservancy.org.

The field trips of JBNHS are oriented to nature study. They are free and open to the public. We do, however, sometimes visit sites that charge admission fees, which are the responsibility of the participants. Children are very welcome on field trips, but pets are not. Although there is a brief courtesy waiting period for latecomers, the meeting times are important: please arrive in time to sign up with the leader.
