NY Botanical Garden: Chihuly Glass Exhibit
Saturday, August 19 8 a.m. – 5 p.m. Wait List Only!
Have you ever been to Mohegan Sun Casino or other large venues and wondered who created the enormous, vibrant glass sculptures? It’s Dale Chihuly, an American glass sculptor and entrepreneur. His works are considered unique to the field of blown glass, and he has created breathtaking works of art which are on view at NYBG in his first major garden exhibition in New York in more than ten years. Twenty installations have been created specifically for NYBG and will complement the garden’s landscape and architecture. We’ll have time to enjoy other portions of the garden as well. Leader: Priscilla Wood. Members $85/Nonmembers $95.
Jamaica Bay
Saturday, August 26 8 a.m. – 5 p.m.
Jamaica Bay, in Queens, New York, is one of the most important urban wildlife refuges. It hosts a variety of habitats, including salt marsh, several fresh and brackish water ponds, and an open expanse of bay and islands, making this destination a fabulous location for shore birds. This trip is scheduled at this time in hopes of capturing the southward migration of shorebirds. Leader: Will Haffey. Members $85/Nonmembers $95.
Wine Trail of Litchfield County
Thursday, September 28 9 a.m. – 5 p.m.
Litchfield County, in the northwest corner of the state, has been named one of the most exciting and fastest growing wine regions in the United States. A tremendous variety of wine styles and stunning scenery are to be enjoyed as we meander through this beautiful part of the state. This cool-climate growing region allows for refined flavor development, and it is also a great place to look for early fall migrants. The trip will include a short hike at White Memorial Conservation Center. Leader: Priscilla Wood. Members $85/Nonmembers $85.
