Wat-er you doing every other Friday? Join us Friday, July 15th from 6:30-8:00 pm for a relaxing evening on the Little River. New to paddling? No problem! We'll be happy to provide tips and guidance throughout the paddle. Community paddles are a great way to get outside and meet some cool people. This week will include some information about some common aquatic plants we might encounter on the Little River or on the Grasse River.

This fishing clinic at Ives’ Park in Potsdam is open to all ages and abilities. Learn about local fish and how to cast - fishing poles included, free of charge! Ten fishing poles will be provided, but participants are invited to bring their own gear as well. You may also want to bring sunscreen, water, and a camera (to post pictures of your catch on natureupnorth.org).

The Full Moon Social will be taking place at Lampson Falls in Clare on July 13th! We will meet at the trailhead at 8pm to walk down to the falls (the trail is less than a mile of relatively even, hard-packed dirt), and we'll wrap up around 10pm. There will be an optional swim (so bring a bathing suit and towel if interested), and then a good old fashioned s'more (and potentially veggie dog) roast while we talk about how cool the moon is. We'll have a front row seat to watch the moon rise at around 9pm! No werewolves allowed!! Can't wait to see you there!

Our second campfire of the summer includes our nocturnal owl pals! We will spend about 30 minutes learning about North Country owls, how to spot them and what their calls sound like. We will also enjoy a roaring campfire and snack on some treats! Basic s'mores supplies will be provided. If we are lucky we may even hear an owl while we sit by the fire. Bring your favorite owl encounter to tell around the fire. This event is free and perfect for all ages. Youth under 13 must be accompanied by an adult.

The beautiful North Country Summer has finally begun! We have seen so many plants, fungi, and animal friends recently. To kick off our Naturalist Tech Series in collaboration with Cornell Cooperative Extension, Nicandri Nature Center, and the Indian Creek Nature Center, Nature Up North will host an event to introduce North Country community members to the Seek app! On Saturday, June 25th from 10:00 am to 12:00 pm join us at Wachtmeister Field Station off Route 27 in Canton. Together, we will practice identifying some of our North Country flora and fauna.

We will spend about 30 minutes learning about some exciting edible plants in the North Country and then enjoy the fire and snack on some treats! Basic s'mores supplies will be provided, but be sure to bring your favorite (or weirdest) campfire snack or s'mores addition to try along with our edible plants.
