Hikes led by Springwater Trails are generally held on Sunday afternoons and appear in this calendar in green.
The Western Finger Lakes chapter of NYFOA is partnering with the New York Center for Agricultural Medicine and Health (NYCAMH) to offer a Game of Logging Level 1 class on 09 May at Pete Muench’s property in Naples.
The Game of Logging is the premier training for chainsaw safety. Level 1 covers basic chainsaw sharpening and maintenance and felling trees. It is open to participants of any skill level, from those who have never used a chainsaw to those who want to learn a better and safer way to cut trees. Each class is limited to 10 participants and by the end of the day each participant will cut down a tree.
NYCAMH has received funding to subsidize this class, so the cost to register is only $25.
NYCAMH is sponsoring other classes around the state. These classes are open to anybody, so if you can’t make it to the one on 09 May you can register for one of the others.
To register, or for more information about any of these classes, call Erica Scott of NYCAMH at 800 343 7527 x2213.

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.
