The Honeoye Watershed Exploration Series is a four part series that invites community members to participate in educational guided walks/hikes at four beautiful locations in the Honeoye Lake Watershed. This is a great opportunity for you to deepen your knowledge about the Honeoye Watershed!

The first part of this series will be a hike at the Harriet Hollister Spencer Recreation Site. The hike will be guided by Dr. Bruce Gilman. Dr. Gilman recently retired from the Department of Environmental Conservation and Horticulture at Finger Lakes Community College where he taught for 42 years. His teaching expertise includes aquatic ecology, field botany, glacial geology, agronomy and environmental science. He will discuss topics such as:

-Glacial history
-Forest composition/ecological communities
-Old growth forest
-Land/forest management​
-Invasive species management
-Recreational uses

This will be a moderate hike with some steep slopes and uneven terrain. Hike will likely last 2 hours.
