Field Guide Friday at Sam’s Point
Friday, September 20, 2024 10:00 AM - 12:30 PM
Dust off your old, field identification guide and join Becca
Howe-Parisio, Environmental Educator, on a hike to learn how to use it. On this
three-mile, moderate adventure, we will look at trees and use a field guide to
identify different trees growing in the Park Preserve. Taking the time to learn
tree identification by working your way through the multiple steps of a field
guide reinforces the unique characteristics of that tree. 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 tree 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 old enough
to read and who 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 calling the Sam's Point Visitor Center at 845-647-7989.
