EMMONS POND BOG OPEN DISCOVERY
June 23, 2024
This 140 acre Nature Conservancy property in Delaware County contains an unusual glacial kettle hole bog and the rare bog plants associated with this habitat. This is also a timely visit for breeding birds and butterflies and blooming wildflowers as well. The SUNY Oneonta Science Discovery Center has created an interpretive trail with QR code markers along the trail for added learning opportunities. Waterproof footwear is recommended for this outing. Bring along lunch or a snack to be enjoyed while at the bog. Please register with our young trip leader Logan Berrios (loganrberrios@gmail.com ) to reserve your spot on this outing and find out meeting time, location, and carpooling options.
