Join Aliza Fassler for a wild bee walk during the 14th Berkshire Biodiversity Day (aka Berkshire Bioblitz). Aliza will encourage participants to look for and observe bees doing their usual pollinating work and talk about who is found!

This walk is one of many activities happening during this year’s Berkshire Bioblitz that’s taking place on September 23–24, from noon to noon, at April Hill Education and Conservation Center, the headquarters for Greenagers. In addition to the expert-led walks, there will be presentations and demonstrations led by experts, all of which are free and open to the public.

DATE: Saturday, September 23

TIME: 12:30 PM – 1:15 PM

LOCATION: Meet at April Hill (Greenagers), 62 N Undermountain Rd, South Egremont, MA (Link to map)

Biological surveys and expert-led walks will be conducted in Bow Wow Woods — a 50-acre parcel of land just off Rte 41 on Bow Wow Rd – which was recently acquired by Greenagers and will soon be protected by a conservation restriction to be held by the Sheffield and Egremont Land Trusts. There are two half-mile trail loops in Bow Wow Woods: one on relatively flat ground and another that descends a small hillside before running alongside vernal pools and wetlands. All other activities will take place at April Hill.
