July 1 - 31, 2024
Get ready for MHLC's Summer Hike-a-thon Scavenger Hunt!
This year there will be painted reptile and amphibian cutouts hidden at all 22 preserves.
We're teaming with Art on the Rail Trail again this year, so be sure to check out the Albany County Helderberg-Hudson Rail Trail for critters too! Thanks to our event sponsor, Stewart's Shops, participants will receive FREE ice cream!
BONUS! This year, to celebrate our new office location, you can also find a critter hidden on the Discovery Trail at the Albany Pine Bush Preserve!
