Alpena, Michigan July 8th

By special invitation we presented our On The Trail course to the Association of Adult Learners in Alpena, Michigan on July 8th, 2015. Great group and the program seemed to be well received. It is the middle segment of our Safe in the Woods course and covers how to read trail markings, what to do in 'critter' encounters and other aspects of being "on the trail."
If you have any interest in a similar presentation for your group, please let us know. Obviously we will travel for the right incentives including travel and lodging. Michigan is a long way from Cortland, NY but it all worked out for a great trip.
I'm here at: www.RogerFulton.com or Roger@RogerFulton.com.

• Labrador Hollow Unique Area

  Route 91 and Labrador Crossroads Road, Apulia, NY,Apulia, NY (edit map)
• Join naturalist and author Roger Fulton on a couple of short and relatively easy nature hikes. We will initially meet at the Labrador Hollow Unique Area at 3 pm and take a .5 mile stroll along the flat composite boardwalk out into the unique ecological area adjacent to Labrador Pond. This area contains unique vegetation, and we will explain why.
  After that we will make our way on foot or by carpool up to the short Tinkers Falls Trail to a very pretty waterfall. That one is a little more demanding, but if you are in reasonable shape it should be no problem. Good footwear is recommended. Y'all might also bring some bug spray and water.
  Then we shall return to the Boardwalk area for a picnic dinner. Bring a sub and anything else you want for a self-contained picnic dinner with friends. We don't supply anything on this outing except some knowledge and friendship.
  Sorry, no dogs or young children on this outing. For a reservation contact Roger via email at: Roger@RogerFulton.com.

The relatively easy trails will cover about 2.5 miles and will be a good way for Dad to walk off some of that great Father’s Day dinner.

Safe in the Woods Course

On Saturday, May 30^th 2015 author and naturalist Roger Fulton will offer a free 3 hour course titled Safe in the Woods at Lime Hollow Nature Center in Cortland, NY from 2 to 5 pm. The course will be based on his best-selling book, Safe in the Woods – Tips, Techniques and Advice for Safety and Survival. This free course is appropriate for adults 16 and above. In a series of 3 Powerpoint presentations, students will learn how to plan for an outing, how to dress, and what equipment to carry. It will also include advice on what to do if you encounter “critters” out there, from insects to bears. Although the planning and preparation for your outing should keep you out of trouble, there will also be tips on what to do when things go wrong from injuries to what to do if you lose the trail. The last ½ hour we will take a short walk on the Lime Hollow trails to practice what we have learned.

Although the seminar is free, you must make a reservation by contacting Roger Fulton via email at: Roger@RogerFulton.com or by calling him, afternoons or evenings at: 386-956-6089, because space is very limited for this seminar.

If you cannot attend this seminar, you can still get a copy of his book, online or at Lime Hollow Nature Center’s gift store, or take the Interactive course offered at:
