"Hints of Autumn: Nut Walk" with Wild Hudson Valley's Justin Wexler

  • Historic Huguenot Street 81 Huguenot St New Paltz, NY, 12561 United States (map)

Join ethnoecologist Justin Wexler for one or more of this year's seasonal explorations of the Nyquist-Harcourt Wildlife Sanctuary. On these walks, we explore the natural world through the lens of Northeastern native languages, history, and folklore. By mid-September, the first of our many nut-bearing trees and shrubs are ready to harvest. We will explore these indigenous resources and their importance to humans and other species.

Check-in is at the DuBois Fort Visitor Center. The program will begin at the replica Esopus Munsee wigwam and will guide visitors up Huguenot Street, through the Nyquist-Harcourt Wildlife Sanctuary.

Please keep in mind the trail is subject to the elements. Appropriate footwear is recommended.
