Join the Adirondack Center for Loon Conservation and Northern Forest Canoe Trail on Follensby-Clear Pond for a paddling tour in the headwaters of the Saranac River watershed on Thursday, August 13.  We’ll spend the morning exploring Follensby – and possibly one or more of the easily accessible connected ponds – to look for loons and other wildlife. You’ll learn about the natural history of loons, environmental threats to their population, and hopefully see this iconic bird of the Northern Forest in its natural habitat.

Meet at 9 a.m. in the northern parking lot (furthest from Fish Creek Ponds and across from Moss Rock Road) on state Route 30 in the town of Santa Clara. We’ll stop for snacks or lunch at 11:30 a.m. The paddle will end at 1 p.m. This is a free event but registration is required. Participants are expected to bring their own equipment but we may have some boats available for use upon request. This paddle is part of the Northern Forest Canoe Trail’s Rivers of Connection series sponsored by the Lake Champlain Basin Program. For more information, email mike@northernforestcanoetrail.org.
