Kid's Exploration and Nature Walk
Orange County Land Trust to Hold Kid’s Exploration and Nature Walk
The Orange County Land Trust will hold a free Kid’s Exploration and Nature Walk on Sunday, July 11 beginning at 1 pm at Hunter Farm Preserve in the Town of Wawayanda.
Led by noted naturalist Gary Keeton, this nature outing will follow The Tadpole Trail, Orange County Land Trust’s educational nature trail for children between the ages of 3 and 14. This walk will also veer off trail, to further investigate other habitats found on this 60-acre natural area. The preserve has an abundance of wildlife, including two ponds that are home to beaver, blue and green herons, wood ducks, turtles, frogs and dragonflies. The fields are home to numerous species of birds and over 28 documented species of butterfly- one of the largest concentrations of butterfly in the eastern United States!
Registration is suggested as space is limited. Please call the office at (845) 343-0840, x12 to register and for additional information and directions. Directions to the preserve are also found on the website at www.oclt.org/mhunter.htm. Long pants and socks, as well as bug repellant, is recommended for this walk. Cancellation and postponement information will be available the morning of the walk at (845) 343-0840, x12.
