Alphabet of the Trees

Calling all young naturalists to discover the trees and water at the Poestenkill Community Forest using their five senses. We'll go for a short hike and get to know trees up close and personal through sensory activities, and each child will have a chance to make their own journal and record their observations through poetry and bark rubbings. Fore children ages six and up. Register in advance here. Questions? E-mail Annie Jacobs at annie@rensselaerplateau.org.
