Saratoga PLAN To Host Guided Walk

SARATOGA SPRINGS — Saratoga PLAN will host a guided walk at its Rowland Hollow Creek Preserve Saturday, April 5 from 10-11:30 a.m. The hikes are designed to introduce people to the landscape of Saratoga County and to help them learn about the network of outdoor resources that are publically accessible. Opened to the public in 2012, the Rowland Hollow Creek Preserve consists of 45 acres of woods, trails and wetlands buffering Rowland Hollow Creek. This Preserve is part of an innovative conservation subdivision project in conjunction with the Meadow Vista Estates development off Grand Avenue in the western part of the City of Saratoga Springs. Participants will hike the trail system of the Preserve, covering approximately 1 mile on relatively even terrain. Participants will experience the beautiful stands of pines and hickories, take part in bark identification activities and view the meandering clear waters of the Rowland Hollow Creek. This nature walk is for people of all ages. Good footwear is advised, and crampons are suggested if temperatures allow for ice. This event will be led by Saratoga PLAN intern, Andrew Gillcrist. Gillcrist graduated from SUNY Potsdam with a degree in Environmental Studies in 2013, has a passion and love for the outdoors, and is an experienced environmental educator.
