Unique Opportunity to Experience Audubon’s Trails After Dark

Jamestown, NY – The beautiful, well-maintained cross country ski trails at the Audubon Center and Sanctuary are open every day, dawn to dusk, but are normally off limits after the sun goes down. 

On Tuesday evening, February 7, from 6-9 pm Audubon is making an exception to the rule when Program Director Jennifer Schlick leads an after dark trek. It will be cross country skiing if the snow allows, or otherwise a hike. 

This will be a wonderful opportunity to experience the creatures of the night with a naturalist who has been skiing Audubon’s trails since the 1970s.

Participants are asked to dress for the weather and bring their cross country skis or winter boots, depending on the snow cover.  Snacks will be provided for after the outing, but trekkers are welcome to bring a nibble to share.  If it is cloudy and snowless, a headlamp or flashlight might be needed.

Learn About At Risk Species at Audubon

Jamestown, NY – A threatened species is one that may become extinct if measures aren't taken to protect it. An endangered species is one that has a very small population and is at greater risk of becoming extinct; many species that become extinct never make it to this list.

At the Audubon Center and Sanctuary’s First Friday Lunch Bunch on February 3, NYS Department of Environmental Conservation Senior Wildlife Biologist Connie Adams will give a presentation on “Common Terns and Peregrine Falcons.”

New York State lists common terns as a threatened species and peregrine falcons as endangered. In the early 1900’s, common terns were almost exterminated by plume hunters. Protective legislation in 1918 allowed this species to make a comeback in the 1920’s and 1930’s. Today, common terns face a variety of threats.
