Bogs, Birds, and the Boreal Beat: Climate Change and Life at the Edge of the Boreal
Michale Glennon, Ph.D. - Senior Research Scientist
New York State’s Adirondack Park is a large, intact breeding ground for numerous migratory bird species, several of which are declining throughout their range. A unique component of the Adirondack avifauna is the birds inhabiting the boreal peatlands of the park. Climate change is now widely recognized as the pre-eminent threat to biodiversity in the 21st Century. At the southern range extent for this ecosystem type and many of its avian inhabitants, the park is a valuable location from which to monitor changes in bird populations from a warming climate. Findings from long-term monitoring of boreal birds in the Adirondacks suggest that bird responses to climate change may be mediated by land use patterns, highlight the importance of a patchy habitat distribution, and raise important implications for potential conservation strategies in these habitats.

As You Like It is a romantic comedy by William Shakespeare, believed to have been written around 1599. The play follows the story of Rosalind, who flees persecution in her uncle’s court by disguising herself as a young man named Ganymede and escaping to the Forest of Arden. There, she encounters her love interest, Orlando, and a variety of other characters who are also seeking refuge or self-discovery. The play explores themes of love, identity, nature vs. society, and the fluidity of gender roles, all with Shakespeare’s trademark wit and wordplay. It ends with multiple weddings and a sense of restored harmony.

Feeding a Region: Can We Solve Hunger for the Long Haul?
Sawyer Bailey - ADK Action Executive Director
Many people think hunger will always exist in America. But just because we don't have the answer to this challenge on a national stage, doesn't mean we can't solve it here at home in the Adirondacks. What would be possible if we restructured our safety nets to support rather than circumvent our local farmers and producers? AdkAction and our partner organizations have been reimagining the future of our food systems by connecting our neighbors in need directly with local farms. This lecture explores how these programs impact the lives of real Adirondackers on both sides of the food system and how this model could support small-scale agriculture as a growth industry in our region.

In this hands-on workshop for ages 10–16, kids will learn how to build a sturdy outdoor shelter using natural materials. Along the way, they'll also practice a couple of useful knots to help secure their creations.

The Evening Grosbeak Road to Recovery Project and the Stokes Guide to Finches of the United States and Canada
Matt Young
With a 92% decline since 1970, Evening Grosbeak (Coccothraustes vespertinus) was cited as the steepest declining landbird in the continental United States and Canada in the Partners in Flight 2016 Landbird Conservation Plan.
From backyards to wilderness peaks, finches are some of the most exciting, mysterious, and popular group of songbirds. In this information-packed book, Lillian Stokes, best-selling author of 35 Stokes guides, and finch expert Matthew Young will introduce you to the 43 finches of the United States and Canada from feeder-favorite goldfinches to Red Crossbill tribes, to least known mountain-top Black Rosy-Finches to endangered Hawaiian honeycreepers.

This workshop will explore the value of drawing as a tool for learning! Drawing can be a potent way to internalize new information and investigate a curiosity. You don’t have to be an “artist” to benefit from exploring new subjects with a combination of both words and pictures. This workshop will introduce participants to the joys of visual note-taking and together we will spend time researching a topic of choice and creating a single-page educational comic from what we learned.
No drawing experience necessary!
Materials needed: colored pencils, graphite pencils with erasers, printer paper (at least 2 sheets per participant), pens (just regular ballpoint pens are perfect).

Join Santanoni Interpretive Coordinator Jennifer Betsworth for this special “bring your own bike” experience that takes you to Santanoni’s Gate Lodge, Farm Complex, and scenic Main Camp overlooking Newcomb Lake.

Next, we will enjoy an extended tour of the Main Camp that includes a guided walk to the historic bathhouse for a stunning view of Newcomb Lake and the mountains beyond. This experience will offer something for new and seasoned visitors to Santanoni!

The Adirondacks have long been known for its breathtaking fall foliage, attracting people from all over the Northeast. The bright greens of summer turn to fiery reds, yellows, and oranges of autumn giving the forests a beautiful new palette.
