Join Doug Tallamy, acclaimed author and native plant advocate, for a special walk through the to-be-opened Taghkanic Community Forest.
Through the lens of the Homegrown National Park movement, Tallamy will highlight many of the native plant species found on this property and the benefits each species provides to insects, birds, and other wildlife. Participants will leave with a deeper understanding of how native species interact and the role they can play in keeping Columbia County a beautiful place for the plants, animals, and people who call this place home.
This program was made possible thanks to the generous support of Arthur’s Point Farm and New Leaf Eco Landscapes.
What to expect: The walk will be approximately 1.5 miles over a gravel path through a rolling landscape of forests and open grassland. Following registration, participants will receive the address and directions to the Taghkanic property.
Packing list: Water, weather-appropriate clothing and footwear, and a way to take notes (i.e. notebook, smartphone).
What not to bring: Please, no dogs.
