Come out to Hart's Falls Preserve on Saturday, August 2nd, at 9 am for an event all about aquatic species. The St. Lawrence Land Trust, in partnership with Nature Up North, will be leading a series of activities to showcase the aquatic biodiversity present above and below Hart's Falls. We'll be deploying minnow traps and getting in the water to sample macroinvertebrates (small aquatic bugs). Anything we catch will be shared in the aquaria so we can get a closer look. We can't promise what we will catch, but we hope to find small fish, crawfish, and a variety of macroinvertebrates.

Nature Up North and the St. Lawrence Land Trust welcome you to join us for the first annual Earth Day 7K Trail Run. This flat 7 kilometer (approximately 4.4 mile) course connects the Kip and Saddlemire Trails at St. Lawrence University, passing through scenic forests and wetlands along the Little River. This is a great course for runners and walkers of all fitness levels. April weather is ever-unpredictable, so please dress appropriately and be prepared for a few muddy spots along the trails. The course will be well marked, with volunteers at all major intersections.
