LAGOON WALK - AUGUST 22, 2009

Time: 10 am
Leader: Bob Guthrie
Meet at the Steamboat Landing parking lot on Lakeshore Drive in Canandaigua.

The warm days of summer and many native plants and trees in the Lagoon Park should be good news for caterpillars and butterflies. We'll check out the territory along the easy walk and well-groomed pathways. With abundance of wetlands, mud puddles, nectar, and weeds, we should have lots to see.
