Join our Catskill Steward, Brian, for a Hike for the Catskills Birding Hike. This will be an easy 2.8-mile hike where we will enjoy the landscape, and explore birds in the area. Please download the Merlin App, as we will be using this to identify birds on the trail. Meet your hike leader, Brian, on August 23 at 9:00 am at the Peck Road parking lot/trailhead. Please also bring binoculars, water, and snacks. 

HIKE FOR THE CATSKILLS IS AN OPPORTUNITY TO EXPLORE THE NATURAL BEAUTY OF THE CATSKILLS WHILE HELPING TO PROTECT CRITICAL CATSKILLS HABITATS, KEEP OUR LAND AND WATERS WILD (EVEN AT THE MOST POPULAR HIKING DESTINATIONS), AND ADVOCATE FOR OUR COMMUNITIES AND THE CATSKILL PARK. 

THIS MONTH-LONG EVENT IS MEANT FOR EVERYONE! FROM COMPLETE BEGINNERS TO EXPERT-LEVEL HIKERS, ALL ARE WELCOME TO REGISTER. CHOOSE YOUR OWN HIKING GOAL BASED ON YOUR EXPERIENCE AND AVAILABILITY. THE CATSKILL CENTER WILL HOST A VARIETY OF HIKING EVENTS THROUGHOUT THE MONTH ALL OVER THE CATSKILLS.
