Time and Date
Sunday, June 14 | 10 am – 4 pm
Limit
20 participants
Hiking Difficulty
Moderate; we will be walking over rocks at times.
Trip Description
Explore the spring wildflowers, ferns, and big trees of a woodland along the upper Hudson River in the morning and the rare plants of a riverside ice meadow in the afternoon. We will meet and start the trips at the fish hatchery near Warrensburg and have a lunch in the pavilion between walks. We should be able to make a nice long plant list and maybe even see some remnant ice in protected spots. The walking is level with some larger cobbles along the river.
This is a joint trip with the Adirondack Botanical Society.
Additional trip details will be sent to registrants in advance of the trip.
