The Dyken Pond Environmental Education Center is offering a Junior Naturalist Series this summer for kids of all ages through August 28. Each Tuesday afternoon program will offer a different theme and will run from 1 to 3 pm. Each program offers nature activities and usually a small craft to take home. Next in the series is “Bats” on July 17. A $1 per child donation covers material costs. A complete list of programs can be found at www.dykenpond.org. Pre-registration is encouraged to help with planning but not required and can be done by contacting the Center at dykenpond@fairpoint.net or 658-2055.
Dyken Pond Environmental Education Center is a Rensselaer County Park open daily during daylight hours for hiking, fishing and non-motor boating. Canoes and kayaks are available for rent each day from 9 am until 3 pm. Call for more information and a complete schedule of our summer events.
