The Susquehanna Chapter of the Adirondack Mountain Club hike on Tuesday, July 23rd will be at Fetterley Forest, an Otsego Land Trust property, located on the east side of Canadarago Lake south of Richfield Springs. We will be joined by Connie Tedesco, a botanist, who will be identifying, hopefully, 10 species of ferns as well as wildflowers in bloom.
The walk in the Forest is just over 1 mile and slightly hilly. Starting from the corner of Walnut Grove Hill Rd. and Rose’s Hill Rd. (uphill) will make it about a 2 mi. walk. If carpooling from Oneonta, meet at the Oneonta Price Chopper at 8:45 am to sign in, leaving at 9:00. The hike will start at 10:00. Bring bug spray, water, hat and poles, if desired.
