SUMMARY:"National Trails Day" Hike
DESCRIPTION:Celebrate National Trails Day with Great Hollow’s naturalist\, John Foley\, and the Candlewood Valley Regional Land Trust’s director\, Bill McCann\, as we “Hike the Hollow” 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 hike will be challenging in some areas and feature steep uphill and downhill terrain\, so wear sturdy footwear. Bring a light snack/lunch and water. We will meet in Great Hollow’s visitor’s parking area at 10am and carpool over to the Michael Ciaiola Conservation Area trailhead off of Old Stage Coach Rd. The hike should take between 2 to 3 hours. Free for members and non-members. To register\, email John at jfoley@greathollow.org.

SUMMARY:Kids' Nature Night: The Amazing Superpowers of Bats!
DESCRIPTION:Did you know that bats have “superpowers” that can rival any super hero? These powers are the adaptations that enable certain bat species to do amazing things\, such as flying up to 60 miles per hour\, eating their entire weight in insects each night\, or being immune to some types of venom. We’ll learn about the adaptions of a few of our native bats and how important these often misunderstood creatures are to people and our environment. Once the sun starts to set\, we’ll go on a hike and use our bat detector to eavesdrop on the cool echolocation calls of Great Hollow’s bats. \nThis is a drop-off program\, open to children ages 5-12. \nIncludes campfire dinner which consists of hotdogs or veggie dogs with all the fixings\, and juice. Please feel free to send your child with an alternative dinner from home if you prefer. \n$25/child for members; $30/child for non-members. \nPlease email our Education Coordinator\, Sena\, at sena@greathollow.org for more information or to register.

SUMMARY:Invasive Plant Walk & Talk
DESCRIPTION:Non-native invasive plants are one of the biggest threats to biodiversity and a major challenge in conservation. They negatively affect property values\, agricultural productivity\, public utilities\, fisheries\, tourism\, outdoor recreation\, and ecosystem function\, and are estimated to cost the U.S. $120 billion in economic damages and control each year. There are now more than 100 non-native species of plants that have become established in Connecticut! Can you identify them all? Come to Great Hollow on Sunday\, June 30th to learn how to identify many of these plants\, hear about how and when they were introduced to our region\, and find out what you can do to be a responsible property owner. Free for members; a suggested donation of $5/person for non-members is greatly appreciated. Please sign up by emailing John Foley at jfoley@greathollow.org.
