Join us on Sunday Nov 19th for a Fairy decent hike. Everyone will meet at the Nature Center parking area at 27 Pond Road, Mendon at 1:45 for a 2PM start.
Naturalists will explore the Nature Trail and parts of Birdsong and Quaker Pond Trails. Birdsong and the Nature Trails are noted for feeding the chickadees from your palm so bring some birdseed and give it a try. This hike is a loop with a length of about 1.5miles with the option to add another 1/4mile loop towards the end.
Social afterwards at Flaherty’s Restaurant, 60 W. Main Street, Honeoye Falls.
