SUMMARY:iPSY Invasive Species Paddle
DESCRIPTION:Ever wondered what those bright yellow irises or feathery plants clogging up waterways are? Join the Catskill Center’s CRISP Aquatic Invasive Species Manager\, Sarah Coney\, and the Otsego County Conservation Association to “sus” out aquatic invaders along the Susquehanna River. \nPlease arrive prepared with non-cotton layers\, rain gear\, sturdy footwear\, and enough water\, snacks\, and lunch for the day. \nAdvance registration is required\, with a $10 suggested donation. \nPlease note: To help ensure the safety of all participants and provide the best possible experience for the group\, dogs are not permitted on Catskill Center guided hikes. We appreciate your understanding and look forward to hiking with you! \nDate: Sunday\, August 16th \nTime: 10:00 AM – 2:00 PM \nLocation: Crumhorn Fishing Access to Portlandville Fishing Access \nDifficulty: Easy \nDistance: Approximately 3 mile paddle \nWe’ll focus on invasive plant and animal species found in the Susquehanna River\, how they were introduced\, how they impact the environment and our communities\, and how to identify them\, all while enjoying a leisurely paddle. This stretch of river is slow\, meandering\, and suitable for most experience levels\, though participants should be prepared for a 3-mile trip. \nParticipants are asked to bring their own watercraft (cleaned\, drained\, and dried) and should plan to be on the river for approximately three hours. We encourage participants to bring water\, snacks\, sunscreen\, and anything else needed to stay safe and comfortable. Life jackets are required and will be provided if needed. The event will be rescheduled if thunderstorms are predicted. \nIf you do not have your own watercraft\, visit Canoe & Kayak Rentals and Sales in Portlandville or call (607-286-7349) for information on renting one. \nThe paddle will start at the DEC Crumhorn Fishing Access site in Maryland\, NY\, and end at the DEC Portlandville Fishing Access Site in Portlandville\, NY. We are unable to provide transportation from the DEC Portlandville Fishing Access Site back to the DEC Crumhorn Fishing Access site\, so please be sure you have planned for this. \nAdvance registration is required.
