THERE IS NOW A WAIT LIST FOR THIS WALK AS THE WALK IS FULL.

This walk will focus on goldenrods (early & mid season) & early asters, while checking out whatever other fall flowering plants are along the trail.

Meet at the parking lot just past the Finger Lakes Trailhead on Hoxie Gorge Rd. (https://maps.app.goo.gl/tSFbQX9smeQ11N4X8). Please carpool if possible as the lot is not that large.

Learn to identify asters & goldenrods from the man who wrote the most recent key for Central NY. (Updated version provided to participants.) This will be a small group walk.
