Fall walk: Reist Wildlife Sanctuary

A Hudson-Mohawk Bird Club sanctuary with woods, dunes, and wetlands that include a variety of flowers as well as ferns, mosses, giant trees, and of course birds.  The trail is often very muddy, so wear boots.  We’ll meet at the west end of the Sanctuary, which has better parking.  Bring binoculars if you are interested in birding.  Leader: Kathleen LoGiudice.  Directions: From the intersection of Balltown and Consaul roads, go east past the Hannaford Plaza, and take the first left onto Oakmont St.  Pass all the town houses.  When you’ve passed the last one, parking for the Sanctuary is on the right.  Address: Just north of 35 Oakmont St., Niskayuna, NY 12309.
