Nature Walk: Exploring Life Around Mountain Lake, FOPOS

Saturday August 17, 2024
10:00 AM - 12:00 PM

Friends Of Princeton Open Space 

Join us for a nature walk around the lake at the Billy Johnson Mountain Lakes Nature Preserve. We'll observe the great diversity of life at the Preserve with possible sightings of eastern painted turtles, great blue herons, beavers, salamanders, and crayfish. Learn about various plant species and habitat restoration projects aimed at preserving native flora. After our walk, we’ll head inside the Mountain Lakes House to delve into the world of lake life collected during our walk. Using field microscopes, we'll explore the diversity of plants & waterbugs and discover their role as indicators of ecosystem health.
