Bird Walk in the Park - POSTPONED
Join us at 7:30 am on Tuesday, May 1 instead!
Join Larry Federman, Education Coordinator at Rheinstrom Hill Audubon Center & Sanctuary, on a birding walk through Roe Jan Park. Whether you are an experienced birder or a beginner, you'll be sure to enjoy a walk with Larry, who is so familiar with all the birds that live in our area as well as those that migrate through. Bring binoculars, wear appropriate footwear and meet at the kiosk by the parking lot. (Photo by Larry Federman)
Wildflower Walk- Sunday April 29, 10 am
Join local wildflower expert Janice Goldfrank for a walk through the woods and fields of the park to discover what's in bloom -- flowers, bushes, trees, maybe even edible plants. Janice has spent over 35 years studying and documenting wildflowers in upstate New York. She's sure to point out some you wouldn't even notice. The rain is sure to have made many bloom. Wear sturdy shoes that can get muddy and meet at the kiosk.
Hello, Dahlia! Join us at the Third Annual Flowers to Power the Parks Luncheon Sun. May 6 from 11:30 to 2:30 pm at the Hillsdale Firehouse on Rt. 22.
This year we'll enjoy a presentation from Barb Pierson, nursery manager at White Flower Farm, who will highlight the best dahlia varieties for beds and containers and share tips for companion plants. We'll again feast on a delicious lunch from Red Barn, one of Columbia County's top caterers. Julie Gale, the proprietor of Hillsdale’s At The Kitchen Table Cooking School is holding a free seminar on May 5 where volunteers will prepare the desserts that will be served at this year’s benefit luncheon.
