This event is no longer on sale.
Saturday, July 10th, 2021
10:00 AM – 2:00 PM EST
Join us as we ramble around the Museum's sprawling Sawdust Preserve. We'll skirt wetlands and wander headwater streams, looking for dragonflies, crayfish, other invertebrates, and anything else that catches our eyes and ears. Birds abound in the large blocks of upland forest and in the swampy stands of hemlock; Hermit Thrush, Least Flycatcher, Brown Creeper, Winter Wren, and Northern Waterthrush and other warblers have all been observed at the site.
Instructors: Garrett Ormiston & Ken Schneider
Meeting Location: Sawdust Preserve
Field trip intensity: Moderate
What to wear and bring (if out of the ordinary): Hiking boots and clothing befitting the weather, field gear, water, snacks, binoculars, camera, hiking poles if desired. There are trails on the preserve, but they are not improved trails, and we may be off-trail at times.
