Minnewaska State Park Preserve: Sam's Point Area
Dust off your old, field identification guides and join
Becca Howe-Parisio, Environmental Educator, on a hike to learn how to use it.
On this five-mile, moderate adventure, we will search for wildflowers along the
Loop Road and Indian Rock Footpath, while using a field guide to identify
different flowers growing in the Park Preserve. Taking the time to learn plants
using field guides reinforces your knowledge of the unique characteristics of
that plant. This leaves a more durable memory than the quick impression made
when using apps on technology. Do not fret if you don't own a field guide,
there will be field guides available to borrow. Field Guide Friday will be a
monthly program, focusing on different topics as the seasons change. This
program is suited for anyone who is old enough to read and is interested in
learning how to use a book to identify plants, insects, and more. Participants must bring water and snacks
and wear appropriate hiking shoes. Meet at the Sam's Point Visitor
Center. Pre-registration is required by signing up via Eventbrite.
