Join Executive Director, Lori Jean Kinsey, for a field exploration of late summer and early fall wildflowers at Pondicherry Wildlife Refuge. We should see Joe Pye weed, goldenrods, asters, and gentian flowers to name a few as well as some early fall bird migrants passing through. This is a moderate hike approximately 4 miles in length with minimal elevation gain. Be sure to wear sturdy shoes, water, and lunch and bring binoculars for some early fall migrants!
We will be meeting at Grant’s to caravan at 9am or at the trailhead at Pondicherry at 10am.
Explore Tin Mountain's beautiful Albany property with Outreach Coordinator, Heather McKendry. Late summer is a magical time of year to wander the woods and hone our senses to the many signs of the season. Are the flora and fauna showing signs of fall? Let's discover what, and who, is around the next bend in the trail.
The walk is approximately 2.5 miles and includes uneven terrain; please plan accordingly and dress for the weather. We will gather at the Nature Learning Center and leave from there.

Apples are popular, but in our everyday lives we rarely encounter more than a handful of varieties: of the sixteen thousand apple varieties once celebrated in America, scarcely a fifth remain accessible. Kumar reveals the richness of a hidden world, bringing readers to the vibrant forests and orchards where historic trees still survive. She brilliantly weaves together science and childhood memories with the apple’s storied history, from its roots in Kazakhstan to Spanish orchards in the Southwest and Thomas Jefferson’s beloved Monticello fruitery.
