SUMMARY:Hike the Hollow for Connecticut Trails Day
DESCRIPTION:Celebrate Trails Day with our naturalist John Foley on a guided tour through Great Hollow Nature Preserve and the neighboring Michael Ciaiola Conservation Area. We’ll first pay a visit to Great Hollow’s resident birds of prey and then trek up the Green Trail to the Tucker’s Run waterfall. There\, we’ll take a short snack break and learn about the history of the “Hollow\,” and why it has become one of the area’s most ecologically significant protected areas. We’ll continue our hike through a hemlock forest while learning some basic tree identification tips and searching for migrant birds (bring binoculars if you own a pair). The hike will be moderately challenging in some areas and feature both steep uphill and downhill terrain\, so wear sturdy footwear. Please sign up in advance by emailing John at jfoley@greathollow.org. Free for members; a suggested donation of $5 or more for non-members is appreciated. Well-behaved\, leashed dogs are permitted.

SUMMARY:Guided Paddle of the Great Swamp
DESCRIPTION:Safely enjoy the outdoors with us on a naturalist-guided paddle of the Great Swamp in Patterson\, New York. The Great Swamp is a regionally significant wetland that is home to a wide diversity of plant and animal life\, including threatened and endangered species. During our paddle\, we are likely to see herons\, kingfishers\, colorful songbirds\, painted turtles\, a variety of dragonflies\, and perhaps a beaver\, among other wildlife. The paddle will be fairly easy and last approximately 2 hours round-trip. Please bring your own canoe or kayak if you have one. A very limited number of canoes can be provided upon request. Please be prepared to portage over short distances in the case of fallen trees or low water. Attendees should have previous paddling experience and be comfortable operating their boats without any instruction or assistance. PFDs (life vests) are encouraged and you should bring your own if you have one. Please email John Foley at jfoley@greathollow.org to register or request additional information. Please note in your email how many people will be in your party and whether or not you need to borrow a canoe/kayak. Space is very limited. Open to people ages 13 and up. A suggested donation of $20/person or more for non-members and $10/person or more for members is greatly appreciated. \nWe will meet at the Patterson Environmental Park at 9:00 am. Directions: Take Route 311 into downtown Patterson and turn south onto Front Street near the Metro-North railroad crossing. Head south a few blocks to the access road just past the Patterson Recreation Center. Turn left onto Marble Rd. at the railroad crossing (Caution – Be careful\, there are no traffic control devices) and follow the dirt road to the end. **Rain date – Sunday\, June 12th\, same time** \nPhoto credit: Justin Goodhart
