Check Out Tug Hill Explorer Backpacks at Your Local Library

It’s official!

Backpack full of books, identifying sheets, and binoculars

There are now Tug Hill Explorer Backpacks available and ready for borrowing from all of our 30 regional community libraries.

Each backpack, focused on either birds or animal tracks, contains books, guides, and equipment that you can use to explore in the outdoors.

Realizing that not everyone is able or comfortable attending a guided walk with us, we decided to make it easier for anyone to explore Tug Hill on their own time, at their own pace. We are delighted that our amazing libraries agreed to accept our donation of outfitted backpacks for their patrons’ use.

We also offer free programming upon request for classrooms, homeschool groups, youth groups, or other interested groups at local libraries or other locations.

If you’d like to schedule an in-person program, contact Linda Gibbs at lgibbs@tughilltomorrowlandtrust.org or 315-779-8240.
