First Day Hikes

Come join Trail Works and Camp Beechwood manager Sal Vittozzi at 10:00 a.m. New Year’s Day for a brisk morning hike through Beechwood State Park to ring in the New Year!  There have been many improvements to the Park over the past year, and Sal is always proud to show them off!  Meet at the upper (west) parking lot, dress for the weather, and wear appropriate foot gear.  We will also be having our (twice postponed) Passport drawing for the $250 Wegmans gift card for those who have completed 15 or 30 of our Passport Trails, and turned their Passport booklet into Cornell Cooperative Extension in Newark.  You need NOT be present to win.  Watch the Trail Works Facebook page for any weather related updates for this hike. 

If you prefer to ring in the new year with a little more sleep, Carol May will be leading a group at the Cornwall Preserve at 1:00 p.m. Located in the Hamlet of Pultneyville, Cornwall Preserve offers spectacular views of Lake Ontario, important habitat for plants and animals, active peach and apple orchards, and walking trails. Habitat highlights of the Preserve include 2/3 mile of high bluff lakeshore, 12 acres of mature woodlands, a 13-acre wildflower meadow, and 30 acres of early successional habitat. The Cornwall Preserve is a Genesee Land Trust property.
