Nature in Winter Walk - January 30

Nature in Winter Walk at Camp Saratoga On Saturday, January 30th, at 1:00 pm Wilton Wildlife Preserve & Park will be hosting a winter exploration nature walk at Camp Saratoga North on Scout Road in Gansevoort.  This hour-long walk over gentle terrain will explore the flora and fauna of the preserve and park. Together we will learn the basics of winter tree identification and animal tracking. Participants will learn about adaptations that plants and animals have that help them survive the winter.  We will even look for signs of animals in winter including animal tracks in the snow.  The trails are icy and we suggest wearing microspikes/ crampons/ yaktrax and/or bringing hiking poles. There will be snowshoes available for rental prior to the program at Parking Lot 1 at Camp Saratoga. The rentals are free for members or $3/pair for non-members.Preregistration is required at least one business day in advance of the actual event.  For more information, please call the Preserve & Park office at 518-450-0321 or via email at info@wiltonpreserve.org.  For up-to-date trail conditions or program information, please visit the Preserve & Park’s website at www.wiltonpreserve.org The Wilton Wildlife Preserve & Park is a non-profit organization that conserves ecological systems and natural settings while providing opportunities for environmental education and outdoor recreation.
