Burroughs Audubon Nature Sanctuary
301 Railroad Mills Road, Pittsford, NY
Another great opportunity to check out the Burroughs Audubon Nature Club Sanctuary.
Join naturalist Douglas Bassett as you go on an Autumnal Amble through the BANC Sanctuary. As fall begins, Mother Nature provides us with surprises and delights: insect and bird calls, neotropical migrants heading south, hints of the spectacular color that is to come. Preparing to survive the winter affects all life. Late-flowering plants provide nectar, and fruits provide nourishment, while their seeds will bring forth next year’s life. With vegetation diminishing, it’s easier to discover the abandoned nests of the breeding birds the Sanctuary hosted during summer, while knotholes and crevices reveal potential winter shelter.
Bring your own brown bag lunch to enjoy at the clubhouse after the walk.
Registration is not required. The Autumn Olive Trail, Evergreen Grove, and the Swamp Boardwalk are accessible to all, but other areas we will explore cannot accommodate wheelchairs.
