On Friday, we were joined by longtime NBC members John and Betty who led a group of students in their Spring Sensations course, a popular class at Hudson Valley Community College under the Creative Retirement Program. This course guides students through a number of local preserves to observe and learn about plants, wildlife, and the natural beauty around us. Thanks to local experts and NBC volunteers we were able to guide the class through HRIT and teach them about birding, local history, and the natural environment in and around New Baltimore, NY.
