Lark in the Park 2012

Hiking, paddling, mountain biking and road cycling, backpacking, fishing, natural history walks, birding, writing and photography workshops, and all types of outdoor activities are on the schedule for Lark in the Park 2012—and we hope you will be a part of it.

Lark in the Park is a 10-day celebration of the Catskill Region. From Saturday September 29 through Monday October 8, we will host over 40 outdoor events in the Catskills. Anyone is welcome to join in these group activities and almost all of them are free.

This is the 9^th Annual Lark in the Park. Two years ago, there were over 330 participants in over 30 events, and last year the Lark served as a catalyst to reopen hiking trails in the Forest Preserve after Hurricane Irene—we ran over 25 events and we raised over $1,000 to help with flood relief. The Lark is coordinated by a partnership of the Catskill Mountain Club, the New York – New Jersey Trail Conference, and The Catskill Center for Conservation and Development.

There are a dozen volunteers working hard to plan Lark in the Park 2012, and our goal is to get everyone outdoors to enjoy the Catskills. For the schedule of events visit: www.catskillslark.org or call 845-586-2611. Events are being added every week to the schedule, and in September we will be distributing a printed schedule.

So JUMP IN and enjoy the fun during the 9^th Annual Lark in the Park.
