French Creek Wildlife Management Area
July 4, 2019 | 9:00am-12:00pm
Use your holiday to get outside and on the water! Our first Destination Row of the 2019 season will take us up French Creek into a New York State Department of Environmental Conservation Wildlife Management Area that is the home of a rich variety of birds, mammals, amphibians, reptiles and fish. We will use NYS DEC guides to identify the various species that inhabit the French Creek WMA before rowing back to campus for a picnic lunch in the River Tent.
