Junior Naturalists for Families at Minnewaska: Blueberry Picking Hike in the Meadows
Wednesday, July 17, 2024 09:30 AM - 12:00 PM
July is wild blueberry season, so join Park
Educators and other families to pick your own wild blueberries while taking a
one-and-a-half-mile hike on the Meadow paths. Along the way, we will discuss
the history of blueberry and huckleberry picking at the Park Preserve and look
for signs of wildlife in the grasses and ponds. Attendees must bring their own
one-quart containers. All participants should come well
prepared with appropriate footwear, food, and water. This program is
recommended for children between the ages of seven to twelve years old,
accompanied by a parent or guardian over the age of 18. Well-behaved younger
siblings are always welcome. Meet at the Lake Minnewaska Visitor
Center. Pre-registration is required by calling the
Minnewaska Visitor Center at 845-255-0752.
