SUMMARY:National Trails Day Hike
DESCRIPTION:National Trails Day Hike\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nIn celebration of National Trails Day\, FoHVOS is hosting a guided hike on Saturday June 7th. This hike will take place at Heritage Preserve and will be led by long-time FoHVOS volunteer Serge Goldstein. Join Serge as he points out the unique nature features and discusses the impact of the small forest fire that occurred at the Preserve last fall. \nAbout Our Preserve: Heritage Preserve was acquired in 2008 and features a unique trail experience that takes a visitor through several stages of forest succession—meadow\, forested wetlands of red maples\, mature forest\, and a dense stand of sweet gum. In the spring\, beautiful displays of woodland wildflowers like spring beauty\, Canada mayflower and trout lily take up the forest floor. The wetlands are also home to vernal pools that many amphibians rely on for breeding. \nDate: Saturday June 7 \nTime: 10:00AM \nLocation: Heritage Preserve \n\nRegister

SUMMARY:Great Backyard Bird Count
DESCRIPTION:Please join Friends of Hopewell Valley Open Space on Sunday\, February 17 at 9AM for the Great Backyard Bird Count at the Thompson Preserve on Route 654.  We will be helping to count birds to take a real time snapshot of birds in our area.  Our list will help researchers learn about how birds are doing\, if populations are changing or remaining stable.  We will walk the trail and count what we see and hear.  The list will then be submitted to eBird\, a website dedicated to birds. \nOr\, if you prefer\, you can count birds in your own backyard.  The GBBC lasts from February 15-18.  Spend at least 15 minutes (or longer) on any of those days counting the birds you encounter and submit the list to eBird\, or send it to me and I can submit it for you.  This can be done anywhere and anytime.  The GBBC is a fun way to help the birds and you don’t have to leave the house if you don’t want to. \nIf you are interested in going on the walk\, please register at bcraighead@fohvos.org.  Dress for the weather and bring binoculars if you have them.
