Send them or tag Staatsburg library, Morton library, and the Pollinator Patrol Club. Can’t make the hikes? Pick up a copy of the trail map and Walkabout form at Morton and Staatsburg library. Follow #pollinatorpatrolclub or Facebook info for the libraries - an overview of each hike every week will be posted so you can look for the things we saw. Hike each trail when you can and keep track on your form. Share what you see and learn with us! Backpacks are also available for you to take out and use from Staatsburg library. There is information and tools available in each to learn about pollinators, birdwatching, geology, and more. They will enhance your hiking experience!

Lunchtime Learning at the Beatrix Farrand: The Roosevelt Home Garden with NPS HorticulturistsLunchtime Learning at the Beatrix Farrand: The Roosevelt Home Garden with NPS Horticulturists –
The Home Garden, nearly two acres in size, was a central part of life for the Roosevelt family, but in 1948, it was replaced by a parking lot for the National Historic Site and the Presidential Library. While this lot improved public access to both sites, it did so at the cost of an important piece of Roosevelt history. It was not until 1975, when the park acquired the Bellefield property to the north of Springwood, that the park could begin to consider relocating visitor parking and reestablishing the original Home Garden. Once again thriving—all food grown on site gets donated to Dutchess Outreach—find out from the experts what it takes to turn a parking lot back into a garden. We'll gather at the Beatrix Farrand Garden at Bellefield. Then, we’ll walk over to the Home Garden at the FDR Historic Site to learn more about the history of Sarah Roosevelt’s Home Garden and the process of recovering the garden from the past from National Park Service horticulturists Anna deCordova and Susan MacAvery. Sponsored by Starr Library, Staatsburg Library, and the Beatrix Farrand Garden Association. Located at the FDR National Historic Site July 18
