NYFOA WFL chapter hosts Game of Logging
Tickets
May 9 all-day

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.

A quintessential experiencing, learning, and  networking opportunity with all kinds of outdoor activity possibilities is the 18th Annual ADK Outdoor Expo to be held at Mendon Ponds Park at the beach area on Saturday, June 13, 2015 (for set-up 9:00AM) 10:00AM-4:00PM for public participation.  Organized by the Adirondack Mountain Club – Genesee Valley Chapter (ADK-GVC) this day consists of hikes, bike rides, kayaking and canoeing, equipment trials & info, demos, learning workshops and presentations, and more, all with the outdoor enthusiast in mind.
Beginner Orienteering, GPS selection & use, kayak selection & technique, paddling safety, white water experience, Backpacking 101, Camping essentials, easy tarp hanging, treating water for drinking, several biking topics, happy healthy hiking dogs, Disc Golf, drying food snacks, knot tying, how to not get lost in the woods, birding workshop, favorite National Parks, tree & shrub identification, and much more are all on the schedule.  In fact there are a minimum of 5-8 activities to choose from at any one time and scores of separate activities planned in the schedule, so pretty much guaranteed to be numerous opportunities of interest for all outdoors oriented folks.
With so many activities, and participation and presentation by so many hiking and outdoor related groups, outdoor equipment outfitters & retailers, municipal and service agencies alike, perhaps the toughest part will be choosing which opportunity you want to participate in over another.
Further details can be gleaned from  http://www.adk-gvc.org/Expo   Check out the photo array of some of the equipment on hand at last years ADK Expo.   Oh, and did I forget to mention, it is all FREE?  No admission fee to Mendon Ponds Park or to the ADK Expo.   And free live music performances by Golden Link Folk Singing Society, too.
        If you as a S/T hiker wish to volunteer for two hours at the ADK Expo, the organizers would greatly appreciate the offer.  Of note: many hiking groups are participating, two of which are Victor Hiking Trails & Genesee Valley Hiking Club.
       So, there you have it Springwater Trails hikers, some varying new opportunities and for sharing.  One never knows what we can learn, and apply to the Springwater Trail and our S/T hiking group.   Hope to see you at the ADK Expo, and on the trail along with newly acquired knowledge as well.

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
