Junior Naturalists at Minnewaska: Climate Change Crash Course
Wednesday, August 6, 2025 10:00 AM - 12:00 PM
Bring your family and join Abigail Hedler, Student Conservation Association/AmeriCorps Environmental Educator, to review the basics of climate change. We'll debunk the common misconceptions about climate change, explore the science behind the greenhouse effect and explore the ways in which we can combat the crisis. Following the presentation, we'll create our own informative, climate change posters to display at home and to educate friends. We will wrap up the program with an approximately two-mile hike around Lake Minnewaska to center ourselves and appreciate the natural world we are enveloped in. This program is recommended for the whole family. Children must be accompanied by a parent or legal guardian over the age of 18 years old. Infants and young children must be in a secure carrier or jogging-type stroller designed for rough terrain for the duration of the hike. Meet at the Lake Minnewaska Visitor Center. Pre-registration is required by calling the Lake Minnewaska Visitor Center at 845-255-0752.
