Fall Foliage at Mount Hope Cemetary

FALL FOLIAGE at MOUNT HOPE CEMETERY

791 Mount Hope Avenue, Rochester, NY 

We are again joining along with the Burroughs Audubon Nature Club for this program.  The old trees of Mount Hope Cemetery should be in their full fall glory as October comes to its end. As we stroll the paths, tree expert, Frank Crombe, will help appreciate the wonderful specimens of trees and shrubs found in the cemetery.  We will meet at the north entrance on Mount Hope Avenue at 10 AM.

Ganondagan Granary Trail from Fort Hill

SATURDAY, OCTOBER 6, 2018; 10 AM

GANONDAGAN GRANARY TRAIL FROM FORT HILL

Boughton Hill Road (CR 41), Victor

Kim Burchard will lead us to where the Seneca built a picketed granary atop Fort Hill to protect the two things they valued most: their lives and their corn.  The location of Gah:ha-da-yan-duk is significant to the Seneca.  From this hill, looking south on a clear day, the observer can see Bare Hill, the legendary birthplace of the Seneca Nation.  We will enjoy plant identification and perhaps check out a few tech savvy skills (http://www.namethatplant.net/)

Directions: Travel north on 332.  Turn west (left) onto CR 41 and continue on past the traffic light at Ganondagan.  The Granary trail head parking will be on the right just past where Murry Road meets Boughton Hill Road from the south.

It was a VERY rainy beginning to our walk toward the mesa but by the end of our morning we were able to enjoy sunbeams through the canopy of trees. I'll post pictures now and hope to return before the weeks end to add captions.
