The hike and trail run usually cover approximately five miles. Headlamps are required in every season. Dress for the weather and trail conditions. Bring water and a snack if you think you'll need it.

Join Seth. for a birding walk through Staten Island’s premier "migrant trap!" We will search for late-season migrants such as warblers, flycatcher and thrushes. Participants will learn basic bird identification skills and how to use binoculars on a slow paced walk through the park. Bring field guides and binoculars. All levels of bird watchers are welcome. Free program. This program is sponsored by A Greener NYC. Registration required via Eventbrite link: https://birdsofclovelakemay2017.eventbrite.com
