OPEN DISCOVERY AT ESOPUS MEADOWS PRESERVE
July 18, 2021 @ 6:00 am - 8:00 am
We might often visit this Scenic Hudson Preserve to scan the Hudson for ducks, herons, shorebirds, eagles and other birds near the parking lot, but there are upland and shore-hugging trails to be explored as well. We will take to the trails and see what is up there. It might be hot at this date, so dress for the temperature. Hiking shoes, drinking water, binoculars and magnifiers are recommended, and there might be blackflies, mosquitos and ticks. This trip will be limited 10 participants. Pack a lunch for a picnic at the end of the walk, if desired. Please contact Lynn Bowdery (lynn.bowdery@gmail.com ) to register for this field trip. Rain cancels.
