Minnewaska Homeschoolers: Bush Babies
Thursday, June 19, 2025 01:00 PM - 03:00 PM
Join Abigail Hedler, Student Conservation Association/AmeriCorps Environmental Educator, in welcoming Minnewaska State Park Preserve's newest inhabitants this spring – baby coyotes, porcupines, black bears, and white-tailed deer! We will learn about the common characteristics of these babies, their developmental processes, and their habitats. We will decorate party hats at the Nature Center to celebrate the birth of the new residents and take an approximately two-mile hike to the Meadows, via Upper Awosting Carriage Road, to hunt for animal tracks. This program is recommended for children between the ages of eight to eleven years old, accompanied by a parent or legal guardian over the age of 18. Well-behaved younger siblings are always welcome to join. This program is open to all students learning from home accompanied by a parent or legal guardian over the age of 18. The total number of participants for this program is limited to 20 individuals. Meet at the Lake Minnewaska Visitor Center. Pre-registration is required by calling the Lake Minnewaska Visitor Center at 845-255-0752.
