HOLLY TROLLEY RIDES @ New York Museum of Transportation
Dec 11 all-day

Santa may still use reindeer power, but sometimes he joins you to enjoy a ride on our authentic 89-year-old electric trolley car, recalling another time when families rode trolleys from their rural homes to do their holiday shopping in the city. The museum will be decorated for the holiday.  Also, nothing says Christmas like model trains.  The museum’s large model railroad will be running three trains at once!

Celebrate The 20th Anniversary Of Wesley Hill Becoming A Nature Preserve!
May 18 @ 11:00 am – 2:30 pm

Spring is here!, and it is time to get outside.  The Finger Lakes Land Trust is sponsoring a volunteer opportunity at Wesley Hill. This is an opportunity for Springwater Trails to say thank you to one of our popular hike locations.

Wesley Hill is one of FLLT’s most iconic nature preserves, and on Monday, May 20th, it will be turning 20 years old!  If you have never visited our westernmost preserve, this is your chance!  Wesley Hill is full of beautiful vistas, gorges, and old growth trees. 

Please join me on Saturday the 18th to help refresh the hiking trails and clear a short reroute, as well as conduct habitat management.  At the end of the day, we will raise a glass of something bubbly to a magnificent place that is protected forever.  Tools, work gloves, and refreshments (including N/A options), will be provided.  We will meet at 11:00am at the WESLEY RD. parking area.  Directions can be found here.

One thought on “Calendar

  1. Looking for brochure.or mailing list so I can receive it in the mail.
    Nothing opens up for mailing list.
    There’s all kinds of very bizarre ads and post for viagra and other drugs above on calender page.
    Please let me know if there’s a brochure available
