Help Nature Up North identify the trees and animals of the forest using guidebooks, nature apps, and your own keen observation skills! The bioblitz at the Wachtmeiseter Field Station is the first in a series of 4 bioblitzes across the North Country.

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 in these mini bioblitzes at sites around the North Country. The event is free, and all materials and instructions are provided!

Join outdoor enthusiast and writer William Hill as he shares the fascinating histories of hiking trails throughout Northern New York. From firetowers to former industrial centers, there are many long-abandoned or forgotten sites where remnants of railroads, mills, or entire towns or can still be seen —but only by foot. Bill will share highlights from his recent two-part book series, Hiking the Trail to Yesterday, and discuss his ongoing project to research and preserve the history of as many of these footpaths as possible, in St. Lawrence County and beyond.

What's better than a relaxing evening on the water? A relaxing evening on the water with friends! Join Nature Up North for our first community paddle of the season on Friday, June 21st at 6:30! We'll be meeting at the Little River's community boat launch just across the bridge at the end of Park St.

The days are longer, nights are shorter, and afternoons are hotter, the perfect time to get out on the water. Even better, June 21st is the solstice! You'll never have more time to enjoy the water, at least until next year.

Join us for the kick-off to our summer campfire series! Enjoy some s'mores, learn a bit about Nature Up North and what we have going on this summer, meet our crew of summer interns, and learn a little about the kip trail that leaves from the campfire (and maybe a short walk to the boardwalk).

This event is free and perfect for all ages. Youth under 13 must be accompanied by an adult. Bring a friend or a family member!

Join Nature Up North to learn more about how community members, that's you, can monitor the waterways near you! Our MOW the Grasse (Monitor Our Water) community science initiative provides an opportunity for hands-on experience with the tools and methods needed to check water quality. We'll walk you through the step-by-step process of checking physical conditions (temperature, flow, and others), chemical conditions (pH, agricultural runoff), and finally biological conditions (macroinvertebrates, and e-coli).
