What's Your Nature?
Become a Nature Up North explorer to share your encounters with wild things and wild places in New York's North Country. Post your wildlife sightings, landscape shots, photos from your outings, and even your organization's events!
Winter Through the Window
Pets and people encounter nature in their own ways. On this day my son and our cat Spazz seemed to be musing about the winter world outside. Both are sharing the moment in the comfort and warmth of home.
Water Monitoring Training with SLLT
St. Lawrence Land Trust volunteers met with Nature Up North interns Liz and Maya to learn more about our new water monitoring project, soon to be publicized on our website. NCPR intern Claire also participated to gain insight for an upcoming story on our project - stay tuned! Volunteers familiarized themselves with the protocol procedures, collected physical, chemical, and biological data to assess water quality, and gave feedback for future volunteer trainings. Thanks to our volunteers for a beautiful, sunny morning on the Grasse River!
Evening Paddle on the Little River
Nature Up North and a crew of North Country paddlers got out on the Little River on a beautiful night on Thursday. The bugs were kind to us, and a few people enjoyed a little swim in the warm water. Look out on August 3rd for our last paddle of the summer!
Bucks Bucks and more Bucks!
Out looking for Bucks and I certainly found some!
Turtle resting on a log
Out on our kayaks in Waddington I took this shot with the hopes that this little guys reflection could be seen in the water below.
Loon on her nest
My husband and I took our kayaks out off the canoe launch on the Coles Creek Rd. When I spotted this beauty, I stayed quite a distance away to not bother her, but had to get the pic!
Doe hidden in the corn
While I was driving around looking for bucks I came across this young lady. I think she thought she was well hidden but I spotted her and loved the picture!
