November Field Trips Posted (see list on right...)

Plus:   THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 15, 7:00 PM—GENERAL MEETING. Meet upstairs at the New Paltz Village Hall, Plattekill Avenue, New Paltz. The Village Hall is located in the same building as the New Paltz Fire Station, near the SUNY campus. Park and enter on the east side of the building. Noted author Susan Fox Rogers and wildlife photographer Peter Schoenberger will present a program about their June trip to Alaska.


And a gentle reminder: The field trips of JBNHS are oriented to nature study. They are free and open to the public. Children are very welcome on field trips, but pets are not. Although there is a brief courtesy waiting period for latecomers, the meeting times are important: please arrive in time to sign up with the leader.

Another Change for Oct. 20th

This weekend's sparrow walk originally scheduled to visit Southlands Farm in Rhinebeck has changed (again).  All participants attending should still meet at Kingston's Park and Ride at 7:30 a.m. to carpool to private property in Marbletown that Peter has gained permission to bird.  Our destination is a special place, rich in sparrow habitat and it is a privilege to have access there.   Please contact trip leader Peter Schoenberger (914 466-2707 pds@netstep.net ) with any questions regarding this outing.
