Fami ly Nature Program Joins Mul t ipl e Gene rat

The Putnam County Land Trust is proud to present a program called “Owls and Tadpoles.” This Saturday, September 26 program is part of a fall series of programs planned by the trust called “A Bridge to Nature.” This program, which begins at 4pm, features a gathering of generations at the Land Trust headquarters at 63 Cobb Road in Brewster and will include animal storytelling, a tree planting ceremony, and a Time of Sharing.

An optional guided sunset hike at 5:30pm will allow those present to venture out into nature to observe and participate in nature’s ways of shifting to the evening and nighttime hours. Bird calls will be identified and local ecology will be interpreted.

The program will be led by Sam Weinstock, a naturalist and poet who has run science programs to public, private, and parochial schools throughout Connecticut and New York. He also guides the nature program at Camp Combe YMCA in Putnam Valley. He was part of the Environmental Conservation Education Program at New York University and worked with aborigines in Australia for five years, including teaching at the University of Technology at Sydney.

All in our communities are invited to participate and join in these enriching activities; there is a positive connection between the environment and our community and how we are well served by that bond.

Events are free to Putnam County Land Trust members. Non-members pay $5. Children under 6 attend free. Take out a membership at the program and attend all programs during the year for free or at a reduced rate. Please call 845-278-8202 for more information or check the PCLT website at www.pclt. net.
