Overview: Explore Astrohurst Park of Bedford Reservation on this late autumn hike with Volunteer Naturalist Fred Losi. We will see how nature is continuing to reclaim this golf course and discuss local history, including the town of Little Egypt.
The photo above is the view from the former 18th tee, truly a beautiful overlook. It shows the partly cloudy, pleasant December conditions, with wind being at a minimum. What you can't see, is the American Black Duck swimming along in Tinker's Creek below.We noted changes from December 2018 when we had a similar adventure. The group was birding focused, but we did look at plant remains and new growth of biennials such as Common Mullein, Common Motherwort and Garlic Mustard. We also greatly appreciated looking at an ancient Burr Oak, Quercus macrocarpa.
