Event Type Hudson River Estuary Exploration/Environmental Education Description Join us at Washington’s Headquarters State Historic Site on Saturday, September 20 at 2 pm for “Reading the Woods,” a talk by Donald “Doc” Bayne. What is living in the woods? How do you know what is there or what is not there? You just need to know what to look for! Come and learn the tell-tale signs of the forest so that next time you hike, you will know what lurks in the woods you are walking in. Doc Bayne is a former Environmental Educator at Sterling Forest State Park and leads educational hikes in the Hudson Valley.
