Bio Blitz and Eco Hike
Dutchess County Pride Center and the Dutchess Land Conservancy are proud to bring back the Bio Blitz and Eco Hike for its second year!
Please join us for a Bio Blitz, a community-science effort to record as many plant and animal species within a designated location and time period. No experience is necessary. DLC staff will help, along with the Seek application and guidebooks, identify species and record them using iNaturalist. The Bontecou Preserve is newly managed land by the Dutchess Land Conservancy and our work can inform our management and conservation for years to come.
DIRECTIONS: From the Taconic Parkway, take Exit 54 to Route 44 East. Take a left at the State Trooper HQ and travel north on Route 82 for about 3½ miles. Turn right onto the Shunpike (County Route 57) and after about 4¾ miles turn left onto Ludlow Road/Shuman Road. Travel north about 1 mile, past the lake, and the preserve entrance is on the right.
