Spring Tree Identification Walk - Esopus Creek Conservancy and John Burroughs Natural History Society are co-sponsoring a Tree Identification Walk at Esopus Bend Nature Preserve in Saugerties on Saturday, April 20, 2024. Vern Rist will lead us at a leisurely pace through a variety of woodland habitats in the Nature Preserve. Spring leaves should be starting to show as we observe and discuss bark and branch features that provide clues to help identify the tree species. Pre-registration is required and group size will be limited.

Spring Bird Migration - Esopus Creek Conservancy and the John Burroughs Natural History Society are co-sponsoring a guided nature walk through woodlands and wetlands in the Town of Saugerties on Sunday, April 28, 2024. The first week in May is typically the peak migration period for neotropical birds, and early morning is the best time to see and hear recently arrived songbirds in their brilliant spring plumage. We will explore a variety of ecologically rich habitats to experience this annual rite of spring, identifying birds by sight and sound while pausing along the way to observe a diversity of wildflowers and animal life.
