Join OCCA for a spring nature walk at Emmons Pond Bog, one of Otsego County’s most unique natural areas. Shake off the cabin fever and get the kids outside during school break for a fresh-air adventure! Together, we’ll explore the bog trail as the landscape wakes from winter, searching for early signs of spring—including migrating birds, emerging amphibians, and the delicate blooms of spring ephemerals on the forest floor.

Along the trail, we’ll pause often to observe and ask questions about how plants and animals respond to the return of warmth and light. Participants will learn simple techniques for spotting and identifying early wildflowers, noticing patterns in plant growth, and exploring how bog ecosystems differ from surrounding forests.

The trail tends to be muddy this time of year so please wear appropriate footwear. Use the form below to sign up.
