Congratulate Southern Shawangunks Advocates
at National Trails Day Party
Celebrate National Trails Day on June 7 at the La Farge property in Summitville, New York and applaud outstanding efforts by the NY/NJ Trails Conference, NYS Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC), and others to preserve the southern Shawangunks.
This event's agenda includes light cleanup of the property from 9 AM to 12 Noon, followed by lunch for volunteers and guests as well as a press conference featuring dignitaries such as DEC Commissioner Pete Grannis, Congressman Maurice D. Hinchey, and Assemblywoman Aileen Gunther, culminating in guided walks.
BKAA members and supporters are urged to acknowledge the critical work of those organizations and individuals who have championed conservation of the southern Shawangunk Ridge by conveying their appreciation at this gathering.

Trained BKAA volunteers will be at the South Road boat launch site with spotting scopes, binoculars and information.
They'll help you view plants and animals of the wetlands. You can look through a powerful spotting scope to see ducks of all kinds, as well as an active bald eagle nest, ospreys and herons - just to name some of the interesting birds that you may see. Bring your children for some educational fun in the outdoors!
