Fall walk: Daniels Road State Forest

September 17, 2024 @ 10:00 am - 12:00 pm

We will be walking a powerline right-of-way where scads of Purple Milkwort and Yellow Ladies’ Tresses orchids abound, as do a wonderful assortment of early-fall meadow wildflowers like asters and goldenrods, plus interesting rock-dwelling mosses and lichens.  Jackie walked there close to this date last year and posted a blog with photos of many of the plants; see https://saratogawoodswaters.blogspot.com/2023/09/powerline-perambulations.htmlLeader: Jackie Donnelly.  Directions: Take exit 15 of I-87 and head toward Saratoga on Rt. 50.  Proceed about 1 mile to the intersection with US 9.  Turn right and proceed along US 9 for 1.4 miles to Daniels Rd. on the left.  Turn left and proceed on Daniels Rd. for 1.1 miles to the entry lane for the Daniels Road State Forest on the right.  There is a brown and yellow sign at the lane’s entrance.  Proceed slowly along this bumpy lane for 0.4 miles until the lane ends at a parking area.
