What’s the Fuss About Aquatic Invasive Species in the Adirondacks?!?

Join Brian Greene, Aquatic Invasive Species Coordinator from the Nature Conservancy's Adirondack Park Invasive Plant Program, to learn about invasive species and what you can do to prevent them from causing harm.

All lectures begin at 7pm at the Adirondack Interpretive Center and are free thanks to the support of the Adirondack Park Institute.

Early Avian Migrants Birding Walk

Wednesday, May 15th – 1pm

Walk is an easy ramble of about 1.5 miles and will be great for beginning birders. We will meet at 1:00 pm at the AIC. Plan on 3 hrs of slow birding. Registration required. Email shample@esf.edu to register or use the following link: https://forms.gle/x9uhTFcTD4Q5RaCp8
