April 11  SPRING AMPHIBIAN WALK
Poestenskill Community Forest
220 Legenbauer Road - Averill Park, NY
In the spring, the ponds and streams are teeming with breeding frogs and salamanders. Jeff will help us search for these small creatures whose combined mass in the woods is more than deer and moose. We will learn to identify frog calls and egg masses, and will discuss the differences in breeding and larval development between frogs and salamanders. If spring thaw permits, we will also look for wood salamanders and stream salamanders. Wear boots for walking in wet areas. Bring water and snack.
Questions? Contact trip leader Jeff Briggs at jbriggs200@nycap.rr.com.
Suggested donation of $5, payable on day of event. This event is part of the 2020 Joint Outings series, sponsored by Rensselaer Land Trust and Rensselaer Plateau Alliance.

miSci
15 Nott Terrace Heights - Schenectady, NY  (518) 382-7890.
Sunny Sundays are your opportunity to take a safe glimpse at the sun! Educators from the Dudley Observatory at miSci will operate our 14inch telescope inside the roll-top roof observatory, allowing visitors to safely look at the sun and search for sunspots. Other objects such as the moon and planets may also be visible. In the event of poor weather, we will have hands-on activities indoors instead.

The observatory will be open from 1-2:30pm every Sunday. miSci galleries will be open continuously from 12-5pm. Access to the observatory or activities is free with museum admission ($12 Adult, $10 Senior, $8 Child).
