I Love My Park Day – NYS 2017
I Love My Park Day (ILMPD) is annually held on the first Saturday of May, a NYS Parks initiative. May 6th 2017 is the the 6th annual ILMPD and there are numerous opportunities in which to become involved on ILMPD. Many NYS Parks have planned activities for ILMPD, and many of the activities are targeted with improvement of the respective park.
Info is available on “Parks and Trails New York” website at a special webpage = www.ptny.org/ilovemypark Information also may be available for some opportunities and activities on the NYS Parks website. (Of note, the www.ptny.org website also holds information on numerous other observances and opportunities that occur throughout the year, all targeted at outdoor areas for recreation, relaxation and enjoyment.)
The three STATE PARKS closest to the homerange of Springwater Trails hikers that have participating opportunities in 2017 are Genesee Valley Greenway State Park (aka GVG), Stony Brook State Park, and Letchworth State Park.
GENESEE VALLEY GREENWAY STATE PARK
FOGVG website (in conjunction with the GVGSP) has posted info about opportunities in the Genesee Valley Greenway State Park for ILMPD 2017. FOGVG Facebook page
A clean-up event in Little Black Creek Park, located off Scottsville Rd along the GVG (Chili, Monroe County), is scheduled at 9:00AM-12:00Noon. There is a former Genesee Valley Canal culvert and waste weir on the GVG in Chili, so there’s an opportunity to learn and view some history at this clean-up event. (Details can be gleaned from the FOGVG Facebook page.)
FOGVG is also leading a hike on miles 80-83 of the GVGSP at 10:00AM May 6th, in Allegany County near the hamlet of Black Creek. (Details can be gleaned from the FOGVG Facebook page.)
STONY BROOK STATE PARK has a participatory event scheduled from 10:00AM-12:00Noon; meet at Clara Barton Shelter near the main parking area. One of the planned activities is picking up of the gorge trail, which seasonally closed Nov 19, 2016. (You can be one of the first this season to traverse the Gorge Trail on this day.) Grounds cleaning, Ball Field improvements and grass seeding are also among some activities.
LETCHWORTH STATE PARK from 8:30AM – 1:00PM has planned the following participatory events. Project/Event Description: Leaf and trash removal, garden cleaning, stone staircase maintenance (Shoveling), Playground maintenance, and invasive plant removal. Meeting Location is at Trailside Lodge. All ages welcome.
These are merely a small smattering of the opportunities to participate in during ILMPD – NYS 2017. – – – If passing through a park admission gate enroute to ILMPD 2017, be sure and inform the staff that you are participating in ILMPD efforts, and ask for directions to the meeting location if you need direction.
Bluebell hike with GVC on Saturday 5/6/2017
UPDATE – TUESDAY MAY 2ND, TRAIL CONDITIONS: It will be muddy and wet, no chance of staying dry this year at the Bluebell hike. Perhaps Traction Devices &/or gaiters may be desirable for use, &/or waterproof boots.
Please feel free to join our friends of Genesee Valley Conservancy aka “GVC” (which has offices in Geneseo, NY) for its annual Bluebell hike(s). Each hike, one at 10:00AM and another at 2:00PM will be ~ 1.5-2 hours in duration and cover ~3.5 miles. Trail conditions may be muddy, so dress accordingly, TDs (Traction Devices) may be helpful.
This hike is a rather unique opportunity! And … you’re invited! You’ll marvel in the wonders of the blooms on Bluebells at this time of year, and as well traverse an area where normally hikers can not, as this hike on private property has been arranged exclusively for this GVC annual Bluebell hike (walk) event.
Hike location is at 3432 Nations Rd, Geneseo, NY.
Approx GPS Coords = 42.829918, -77.803816
Please note: hike times which start respectively at 10:00AM & 2:00PM are scheduled for just one day, Saturday , May 6th, 2017. Miss the date and you’ll need to wait a year for the hike opportunity to roll around again. Please realize that Mother Nature does not always cooperate with preplanned dates with design to showcase Natural Splendors. Advance predicted timing of Bluebell flowers blooming can be a tenuous undertaking, especially so in some years where weather patterns are substantially outliers from the norm.
Hike Location: Nations Rd runs, in an overall ~ “L” shape, westerly off NY Rt 39 (aka Avon Rd, and aka Avon-Geneseo Rd) a bit north of the Village of Geneseo, and also runs southerly off Co Rd 22 (aka Fowlerville Rd) in the western reaches of the Town of Avon. (The shortest entry to the hike locale from a main road is from NY Rt 39.) The hike location at 3432 Nations Rd is on the approximately e-w traversing section of Nations Rd, not far from the angular corner with the n-s traversing section of Nations Rd. Parking is with judiciousness and courtesy along the side of Nations Rd.
