The hike on May 13th 2018 with be at the Cumming Nature Center in Honoeye. It will be a repeat of the hike we did there in the winter, and again Shariee Edersheim, the Cumming Center resident naturalist, will be guiding us along the route and showing us how much has changed since the winter and what to look for now that the New York spring is in full swing.

We’ll meet at the Nature Center reception at the usual time of 2:00pm. The part of the hike with Shariee will be suitable for all levels of hiker. Shariee’s part will be for about an hour; each group can then walk the center trails as much as they feel up to.

This hike is on Mother’s Day. Feel free to bring your mothers and any other relatives – it will be a great treat for them!
