NYFA is offering this field trip In partnership with the Allegany Nature Pilgrimage. There is no preregistration for this field trip but all participants must register online for the Pilgrimage at the Allegany Nature Pilgrimage website. https://www.alleganynaturepilgrimage.com/
Experience the unique flora and fauna of a spectacular northern peat bog that features a quaking mat surrounding a bog pool. Many plants that are uncommon or rare in this part of New York can be found here.
We’ll also pay special attention to dragonflies and damselflies, as some unusual ones often are flying here at this time.
Participants should be in good health and have good mobility for walking on unstable substrates. Expect wet and mucky conditions and occasional light bushwhacking. Bring bug repellent as some years (not all) mosquitoes can be annoying. Recommended attire: long pants, long sleeves, hat, closed-toe footwear that can get wet such as old sneakers.
Bring lunch & water.
This program extends from 9:00 am – 4:00 pm, including 45-minute drive outside the park. Departs from Camp Allegany, at the site of the Allegany Nature Pilgrimage.
If you have any questions feel free to contact us at anp@nyflora.org.
