Join us for another installment of our Community Campfire series!

This week, we'll be talking all things dirt. Is it just something we wash off our vegetables and clothes, or is it a window into the foundation of our ecosystems? We'll talk a bit about the soil triangle, what core building blocks make up our dirt, how to easily determine what kind of soil you have at home, and what the plants we see above ground might be telling us about the ecosystem beneath them.

As always, there will be s'mores, and we will be exploring the outdoors. We hope to see you there!

Join us on Sunday, August 2nd at 11am at the Mt. Arab trailhead for a hike to the fire tower! Along the way, we will observe remnants of glacial history. Twelve thousand years ago, St. Lawrence County was covered in icy glaciers two miles thick. When the glaciers receded, they changed the landscape and left behind signs of the past. Along the trail, we will look out for different signs of glaciers and talk about the geologic history of the North Country. We will also see some great views at the top!

Test your wilderness skills!
Pulling from each of the previous three sessions, we'll be setting up an orienteering and outdoor skills test at the Cornell Cooperative Extension farm. Put your skills to the test alongside other North Country explorersQ
This is in partnership with the Indian Creek Nature Center, Nature Up North, and the Nicandri Nature Center.
(Not every program is at the CCE Farm, each partner will hold one of the programs, see the poster above for details)
We hope to see you at any or all of the four programs!

Join us for another installment of our Community Paddle series! Every other week we gather at the Little River boat launch on outer Park St. in Canton at 6:30 for a paddle on the Little and Grasse Rivers. We provide the boats, paddles, and life jackets, you provide the paddle power!

Enjoy an afternoon in the park with Grasse River Heritage for the Falls Island Festival!
