Full Calendar

This event has been cancelled.

On this adventure, we will search for several different types of squirrels found in the area. Along the way, we will look high and low for squirrel nests, tunnels, food piles, and the furry rodents themselves. Learn about how some squirrels live underground while some live in the trees and others are even adapted for life in the air.

Space is limited. Please call 518-475-0291 by Wednesday, August 11 to register.

Discover snakes, turtles, frogs and salamanders as we explore the ponds and forests at Reinstein Woods.
