SUMMARY:SUNDOWN FOREST OPEN DISCOVERY
DESCRIPTION:Sundown Wild Forest is located in the southern Catskills. We will explore the flora and fauna in this mature second growth forest. Forest succession and regrowth will be discussed. We will walk on trails for the most part\, with short forays off-trail. Trail conditions are generally good\, with some short steep slopes and occasional downed trees to navigate. Please register with George Moxham (gfmoxham@gmail.com) for details. Participation is limited due to parking availability.

SUMMARY:DRY BROOK RIDGE HIKE
DESCRIPTION:We will travel to Hardenburgh and hike to Dry Brook Ridge\, starting at the Millbrook Road trailhead. The hike will be about 8.5 miles out & back with an elevation gain of 2500′. This will be combined hiking and breeding bird atlasing\, so plan for about 8 hours total.  We will meet at 6:30AM at the park & ride near the Kingston traffic circle and car pool from there. Bring lunch\nand plenty of water.  The drive will take about an hour. \nSome Dry Brook Ridge facts from Dr. Michael Kudish’s book The Catskill Forest: A History. The ridge lacks any spruce or fir (only reaching 3465') but has 3-1/2 miles of first-growth forest\, with the trail right through the middle. It also features several bogs\, the oldest radiocarbon-dated at 6\,980 years old. We will stop for lunch and views at Penguin Rocks\, a large 270-foot talus slopes. If lucky we will find three-toothed cinquefoil here\, an arctic tundra species seen in only 8 other places in the Catskills. It’s presence that forest never covered this site since the ice age. \nPlease register with and send any questions to David Hayes (vireo44@gmail.com).

SUMMARY:DAMSELS AND DRAGONS AT BURROUGHS SANCTUARY
DESCRIPTION:Join local aquatic ecologist and nature photographer Frank Beres (othernaturephoto@gmail.com) at Black Creek Trail parking area on Floyd Ackert Road to explore this fascinating group of insects. Learn about the natural history of one of the most ancient lineages and pick up tips to discover\, identify\, and photograph a diverse variety of striking and colorful species. \nFrom the flitting gleam of a bluet’s wing to a speeding darner relentlessly hunting prey\, summer at Sanctuary Pond is alive with diverse\, colorful\, and intriguing insects: the Odonata (Dragonflies and damselflies). We will also explore the edges of the pond for biodiversity: birds\, butterflies\, aquatic insects\, reptiles\, and amphibians. Please email Frank to register for this outing or with questions.

SUMMARY:BREEDING BIRDS AND BUTTERFLIES
DESCRIPTION:The Esopus Creek Conservancy and John Burroughs Natural History Society are co- sponsoring a guided nature walk at Esopus Bend Nature Preserve in Saugerties on Sunday\, June 18\, 2023 to observe summer breeding birds and butterflies. We will identify birds by sight and sound as we explore the Preserve’s woodlands\, wetlands\, and meadow\, pausing along the way to observe the diversity of plant and animal life that inhabit the Preserve. As\nthe morning temperatures rise\, we will focus our attention on early summer butterflies active in the Preserve at this time of the year. Meet at the Saugerties Village Beach parking lot on US Rte. 9W\, just north of the Esopus Creek Bridge\, at the foot of Partition Street in the Village of Saugerties. Bring binoculars\, insect repellant and field guides if you have them. Be prepared for potentially wet/muddy trails\, tall grass\, and dress according to weather  conditions. Light rain often makes for excellent birding and nature observation\, but will inhibit or eliminate most butterfly activity. Heavy rain will cancel the walk. Children are welcome and encouraged\, but please do not bring pets. Please register with the field trip leader Steve Chorvas (schorvas@gmail.com ) to participate and for meeting time. This joint\nECC/JBNHS Environmental Education walk is free and open to the public. For additional information about upcoming ECC Nature Walks and Paddles\, please visit www.esopuscreekconservancy.org.
