SUMMARY:National Trails Day
DESCRIPTION:Join us for our third annual celebration of National Trails Day and take a naturalist-guided tour through Great Hollow Nature Preserve and the neighboring Michael Ciaiola Conservation Area. Learn about the history of “the Hollow” and why it has become one of the most ecologically significant areas in both Fairfield County\, CT and Putnam County\, NY. We will enjoy a scenic vista overlooking northern New Fairfield\, trek over a rocky ridgeline\, make our way down into a hemlock ravine\, break for a snack at the Tuckers Run waterfall\, and finally return back to the Merritt House at Great Hollow. The 3.5 mile hike can be challenging in some areas and features both steep uphill and downhill terrain\, so wear sturdy footwear. Bring a light snack/lunch and most importantly\, plenty of water. We will meet in the visitor’s parking lot at Great Hollow and then carpool the short distance to the Michael Ciaiola Conservation Area trailhead off of Old Stage Coach Rd. Please register by emailing John Foley at jfoley@greathollow.org. Free for members and non-members. For an event flier and more info\, please click here.

SUMMARY:Kids' Nature Night: Beaver Fever!
DESCRIPTION:This final event in our Kids’ Nature Night series (until the fall) is all about beavers – the species that has altered the planet more than any other\, aside from humans. We’ll start our evening with s’mores and a campfire chat about this remarkable animal\, and then take a hike up our creek to an active beaver lodge and dam. Along the way\, we’ll learn about the engineering prowess of beavers\, what it means to be a “keystone species”\, and how to identify tracks and signs that they leave behind. If we’re lucky\, we may even get to see one swimming around! You’ll also be able to collect your own beaver-chewed stick to take home! \nWe will be outside most of the evening\, so please dress your child(ren) accordingly. Children MUST bring shoes that they can walk through the water in (rain boots\, sandals\, old sneakers\, etc.)\, as we will be walking up a shallow section of our creek to get to the beaver lodge. \nJuice and fixin’s for s’mores will be provided. \nOpen to children ages 5 through 12. \nMembers: $20 per child. Non-members: $25 per child. Please email our Education Coordinator\, Sena\, at sena@greathollow.org to register your child(ren). Space is limited to only 12 children and will fill up quickly.

SUMMARY:Seminar: Cheetah Conservation in Namibia
DESCRIPTION:The cheetah is well-known to all for its incredible speed and beauty. Like many of the world’s species of “big cats”\, it is under significant threat of extinction. With fewer than 7\,500 remaining in the wild\, some estimates predict that cheetahs may be extinct within only a few decades. Come to Great Hollow on June 24th to hear cheetah conservation advocate\, Paola Bari’s impassioned talk about the work of the Cheetah Conservation Foundation. Founded in Namibia in 1990\, the Cheetah Conservation Fund is a global leader in the study and conservation of cheetahs. The vast majority of wild cheetahs live outside of protected areas\, where they are losing habitat to an ever-growing human population. Saving this magnificent animal from extinction requires innovative conservation methods that address the welfare of both cheetah and human populations over large landscapes. \nFree for members and non-members. No need to register. Please follow signs for the Lecture Room in the side entrance of the Merritt House. \nAbout Paola Bari: \nItalian-born Paola Bari is a local artist who draws inspiration from the “big cats”. With her ties to the artist community in the Hudson Valley\, Bari co-founded a New York Chapter of the Cheetah Conservation Fund as a way for local artists and conservationists to join forces to help save endangered cheetahs and their habitats.
