Forest Ecology Walk at the Cary Institute of Ecosystem Studies

Join Cary Institute forest ecologist Dr. Charles Canham for an interpretive two-mile walk along the Wappinger Creek Trail. While exploring the forests, fields, and wetlands, Dr. Canham will discuss how land use has transformed Hudson Valley landscapes. Discover how current forest composition is a reflection of past farming practices. Learn how the future forest will be influenced by climate change, pests and pathogens, and air pollution. The walk will begin at the Cary East (Gifford House) parking area. Wear hiking shoes and bring water; long pants are recommended.
