Evening Birding at Lowville Demonstration Forestry Area July 24, 20246:30 pm - 8:00 pm « Dutch Oven Cooking Demo Tug Hill Traverse Trail Work Day » Family Friendly Event, Reservations Required Cancelled Due to Chance of Severe Weather Join us for a relaxing evening bird walk at the Lowville Demonstration Forestry Area, Route 812, Dadville, NY. The Lowville Forestry Demonstration Area is located on 98 acres at the former NYS Lowville Tree Nursery. The nursery was in operation from approximately 1923 to 1971 and during that time, a total of 530 million seedlings were produced. A demonstration forest was created here by planting trees together in blocks based on species.The property also contains an arboretum with more than 400 species of native and non-native trees, shrubs, perennials and fruit trees. This area highlights hardy species that can grow in the northern New York climate. We’ll meet at the parking area on Route 812 just south of the NYSDEC Region 6 suboffice. We’ll then take an easy walk along the trails through field and forest looking and listening for birds, with frequent stops. As we walk, we’ll share more tips for finding, identifying and observing spring and summer birds. Sturdy shoes that can get wet are recommended. Trails are mowed grass and footpaths on primarily flat terrain. Bring along your binoculars and some insect repellent, just in case. You might want to upload the free eBird and Merlin mobile apps to your smart phone prior to attending.
