Ever wanted to get a closer look at some of our local night time friends? You can on our bat paddle!

Separate from our regularly scheduled bi-weekly paddles, this paddle will take place at twilight and beyond to give us the best chance of seeing, and hearing, the bats that soar above our canoes. Why paddle? Bats prefer to hunt over open water, like the little river, because bugs tend to be easier to find! Be sure to bring a headlamp to help you see.

In conjunction with Bill Hill’s recent Brown Bag talk about his series, Hiking the Trail to Yesterday, take part in a scenic hike along the Stone Valley West Shore Trail. Learn about the history of the area including an introduction at the Colton Historical Society.

Highlights Include:
• St. Lawrence Tannery artifacts and foundation
• Views of the Raquette River

Members Free | Non-Members $5
• 1-mile round trip
• Good walking shoes recommended
• Parking available

Try your luck at spotting birds, dragonflies, and pond life at the Indian Creek Nature Center with Nature Up North!

A bioblitz is a species scavenger hunt, a race against the clock, and a fun way to learn about the variety of life in an area. Join us this summer as we find and identify as many species as possible! All materials and instruction is provided, all ages are welcome, and it's free!

This Saturday, we'll be looking for birds, identifying dragonflies, and scooping in the pond to see what we can find. Come explore the board walk with us!

Stay tuned for more details to come about this paddle with the St. Lawrence Country Center for History and Culture (Formerly the Historical Association).

Multiple sights are being scouted, each with their own unique potential for historical discovery on local waterways.
