NEW! Eventbrite pre-registration for field trips has ended and is no longer available.

Our trip to this lakeside treasure should rack up good numbers of warblers, flycatchers, and other spring arrivals. Owned by the Genesee Land Trust, the Manitou Beach Preserve consists of 5 acres of flat, field, forest and hedgerow, shrub, and cattail wetlands extending into Braddock Bay.

Wear waterproof, sturdy shoes and don’t forget the bug spray! No restrooms available.

Meet at 8:00 a.m. in the Owl Woods parking lot on Manitou Beach Road (Route 261) at the Lake Ontario State Parkway. We will shuttle to the preserve, as parking space is limited.

Leader: Amy Kahn 585-310-2330 and co-leader Kevin Farrell 585-748-6919
