Adult Education Course, Safe in the Woods

In August and September, Author and Master Naturalist Roger Fulton will be presenting an adult education safety course

                                   

Safe in the Woods

 Tips, Techniques and Advice for Safety and Survival

This is a BOCES adult evening course, under RECREATION

Whether you are just going out for walk in the woods or hiking the Appalachian Trail, preparation, planning and knowledge are the keys to keeping you safe “out there”. This course, based on the book of the same name, will help you avoid dangers from getting lost to encounters with large animals. Other topics include how to dress, what to carry and how to read trail markers and signs along the way. A copy of the book will be provided as course material and is included in the course tuition. Each session consists of two nights in the classroom (Tuesday and Thursday) and an optional Sunday afternoon hike to put into practice what we have learned.

Local hiking presentation, Trumansburg, July 14

Ulysses Philomathic Library presents:

Author and Master Naturalist Roger Fulton

Short Hikes in the Finger Lakes Region

Cortland and Ithaca Regions

Roger’s presentation will highlight some of the short hikes in the Cortland, Ithaca and Syracuse areas.  It explores trails that lead to beautiful woods, across brooks and streams, and down to fantastic waterfalls.  The trails range from paved and easy, to moderate and woodsy- something for every level of hiker. Much of the presentation is based on Roger’s latest book, Short Hikes in the Finger Lakes Region.
