SUMMARY:Distance-Learning Program: Backyard BioBlitz
DESCRIPTION:We are pleased to announce a series of free distance-learning programs which will allow you to bring Great Hollow right into your home\, and keep your kids learning and engaged with the natural world as we wait out this awful pandemic. Kick things off with us on Tuesday the 31st as we go on a virtual Backyard Bioblitz Adventure! Sometimes the most fascinating things lie right under our noses in our very own backyards. In this online class\, we will explore the habitats in our backyards\, see what cool animals and plants we can find\, collect data\, and discuss our discoveries together via ZOOM. We will then look for underlying patterns in the data that we collected\, talk about predator-prey relationships\, create maps\, and more! This program is most suitable for children ages 6 to 10. A brief assignment consisting of an outdoor journal activity and sensory exercise will be required beforehand. Participants will also need a computer or tablet with a camera\, microphone\, and internet connection. Please email our education coordinator Maggie  at mcozens@greathollow.org for more information and to register. Free for members and non-members

SUMMARY:Distance-Learning Program: Let's Talk H2O!
DESCRIPTION:In this distance-learning program\, we will follow the journey of water as it repeatedly cycles throughout our planet and sustains all of Earth’s inhabitants. We will conduct basic water experiments\, take a look at aquatic organisms\, and discuss the importance of clean water in our communities. We will also use real-time online databases from regional watersheds to understand just how water moves through our local ecosystems. This program is most suitable for children ages 6 to 10. Some basic household materials\, such as ice cubes\, will be required along with a computer or tablet with a camera\, microphone\, and internet connection. Please email our education coordinator Maggie at mcozens@greathollow.org for more information and to register. Free for members and non-members.

SUMMARY:Woodcock Walk
DESCRIPTION:*This event has been cancelled due to the COVID-19 emergency.\n \n  \nEvery April for millennia\, an odd-looking migratory bird has returned to the Northeast from its far-away wintering grounds to engage in one of the more bizarre mating rituals in the Animal Kingdom. Perhaps you’re even familiar with the strange\, high-pitched\, nasally “pent” sound that can be heard coming from fields and young forests this time of year. These sounds are the mating calls of the American Woodcock\, also known as the Timberdoodle. During the last few moments of daylight\, male Woodcocks perform an unusual courtship display that the famous naturalist\, Aldo Leopold\, called “the sky dance.” The males repeatedly spiral high up into the air and then return to the ground in a wild zig-zag\, all in hopes of impressing and attracting one of the females watching them with a carefully judging eye. Join us on an evening walk to one of the local places where Woodcocks can often be seen engaging in this aerial display. \nWe will meet in Great Hollow’s visitor parking area at 7 pm and then take a short drive over to the Great Swamp Wildlife Management area off of Cornwall Hill Rd. in Patterson\, NY. You may also meet us there directly if you prefer (190 Cornwall Hill Rd.\, Patterson\, NY\, 12563). \nPlease dress appropriately for the weather\, wear sturdy footwear\, and bring a flashlight\, as we will be returning to our vehicles in the dark. It’s about a 10 minute walk from the parking area to where we hope to find Woodcocks displaying. Free for members; a suggested donation of $5/person for non-members is greatly appreciated. No dogs\, please. To sign up\, please email John at jfoley@greathollow.org.   *Please note that while we will do our best to find Woodcocks\, there is no way to guarantee it.
