Sunday Nature Walk: Sugar Maples at Indian Creek

Event date and time
September 29, 2019 - 10:00 AM to 12:00 PM
Event description

In the face of climate change, there is recent concern about how a warming and increasingly unpredictable climate will affect both sugar maple health and maple syrup production. Join us for a walk to discuss this potential threat to sugar maples, and learn to identify a variety of maples present on the trails. You'll also hear about ongoing research at St. Lawrence University, led by Nature Up North, monitoring the impact of changing temperatures on sugar maples here in the North Country.

Hiking Algonquin, Iroquois and Wright peak

We lucked out with a beautiful day for Peak Weekend and got some amazing views from Avalanche Pass and the summits of the MacIntyre Range. Some trees were changing down in the valleys but still lots of green, except some of the grasses up in the alpine zone.
