The Capital District Friday Field Group is a mix of amateur and professional naturalists formed in 1994 that meets weekly between April and September to explore features of natural sites in the Capital Region. Several trips are planned in Rensselaer County for the 2009 season. The trips are free and the public is welcome. On June 26 we will explore a 5 acre inland poor fen at the Pine Ridge Ski Center on the Rensselaer Plateau, focusing on bog flowers and mosses including bog sedge, cottongrass and sundew. Bring footwear appropriate for a deep wet bog mat.
Contact David Hunt at 518-279-4124 for the meeting place. Other upcoming trips of the group include Dyken Pond Center in Grafton (July 24), Little Bowman Pond in Taborton (August 7), Campbell Island in Schodack (August 14), Quacken Kill Mouth in Brunswick (August 21) and Quacken Kill Swamp in Grafton (September 25).
