“Winter Explorations”–back by popular demand! A series of winter ecology walks to various locations throughout Columbia County. The walks will be on Saturdays, 12:30-2:30pm (Nov. 6, Dec. 11, Jan. 15, Feb. 12, and March 12), locations to be announced. The outings are free, but please register with claudia@hawthornevalleyfarm.org or call 672-7994 for information.

Botany Lab: Participants in the Natural History Survey Group will meet right after the “Winter Exploration” outings for botany lab sessions (3-5pm at the Creekhouse) to review some of the plant groups that are difficult to identify in the field. Limited space for new participants might be available. Contact us if you are interested in joining this in-depth botany study group.
