ECOS is planning to update its publication, “Natural Areas of Saratoga County.” Join us for an initial training session at the Vischer Ferry Nature Preserve. Meet at the Riverview Rd/ Van Vranken Rd trailhead at 10 a.m. on Saturday, December 14. While we hike the preserve trails, pay particular attention to:
- Animals, and signs of animal behavior
- Plant species of interest
- Key landmarks or vistas
- Geological, hydrological, or historical items of interest
Track your path with a smartphone app or GPS unit (If you don’t already have an app, we recommend Geo Tracker). Afterwards, send any proposed description input and gps track files (.gpx preferred) to:
[email protected].
