Annual Wildlife Festival at Wilton Wildlife Preserve & Park June 2

 

WILTON — Wilton Wildlife will be hosting its Annual Wildlife Festival at the Historic Camp Saratoga on Scout Road in Wilton from 11 a.m. - 3 p.m. Sunday, June 2. 

The free event will feature Karner blue butterfly information, lupine planting, food trucks, live animals, nature crafts, face painting, pond exploration, and hands-on fun. The event is timed to enjoy the beauty of the first brood of Karner blue butterflies and the blooming wild blue lupine. Activities will take place throughout Camp Saratoga to encourage people to explore the wonderful trail system, since the Wildlife Festival is a registered National Trails Day event. 

During the festival, native raptors will be presented by the Trish Marki of Silent Wings, sponsored by Ballston Spa National Bank. There will be live turtles at the turtle discovery table. 

There will be lupine planting and a Karner blue butterfly information table to help visitors learn about the Saratoga Sand Plains Habitat Restoration area. Educators from Wilton Wildlife will share information about the efforts that New York State DEC and The Nature Conservancy have made in improving and increasing the habitat for this endangered species. 

There will be numerous craft activities taking place in locations around Camp Saratoga. 

The Wildlife Festival will take place rain or shine with many of the activities moving under cover of Camp Saratoga’s many pavilions, the dining hall and the Winter Lodge in case of rainy weather. Organizers encourage people to carpool, bike, blade, walk, or share rides with others since parking is limited.
