Hi folks. The Canal Corporation and the NY State Power Authority are offering free hikes this January and February along the Seneca River in Waterloo, NY. Hosted by Canalside, the title of the walk is "More Than Just A "Canal" - Hiking The Seneca River To Explore Its Natural And Human History" Among other things we will be exploring both the Natural and human history associated with the river (part of the Erie Canal system). Topics addressed will include the astronomical reason for the winter season, examinig the signs of the life (animal, bird, plant, insect) encountered along the way, the strategies employed by that life to cope with the diminished solar energy, early signs of Spring, the river as part of a larger watershed, the river's history as an economic force and the people (past and present) who have lived along its banks. Walks are lead by yours truly and Lisa DeFrancesco. They are free but space is limited and tends to fill up quickly. Registration will be posted on the Event Brite website (eventbrite.com) on 12/14/22. Hope to see you there as we explore some of the facinating stories this beautiful river has to tell. Pete Saracino
