Adirondack Interpretive Center

Join us on Saturday, April 10th at 1:30 pm, for our second installment of Mud Season Movies. In addition to this PBS Nature film, we will be showing a short clip from BBC's "The Hunt", showcasing the American marten and filmed here on the Newcomb Campus. Preregistration is required, free, and easy by emailing [email protected].

We are slowly starting to get back in the swing of things, and in this case, we mean that literally. So come learn how to swing a flyrod at this socially distanced workshop. Register early for this popular one day workshop with fishing guide Rick Kovacs. Space will be limited.

We're back! Join us for Mud Season Movies on Saturdays during the month of April. Preregistration will be required, allowing staff to arrange chairs for film viewing at a safe social distance. The wearing of facemasks will be required at all times during the film. This free series is sponsored by the Adirondack Park Institute.

Congratulations to our Educator, Jake O'Connell, for not only earning the Newcomb Extreme Challenge patch but for being the first. Yay Jake! The Sucker Brook trail at the AIC is one of 13 activities that can help earn you an Explorer Patch. Visit discovernewcomb.com for more information.

Beavers have been busy cutting down saplings along the Sage Trail for their winter food cache. They have built a lodge on Belden Pond and have been hard at work hauling food down the hill and adding it to the food pile.

A pop of color on the forest floor. Wintergreen (Gaultheria procumbens) is common along the AIC trails. The berries and the plant are edible but should likely just be sampled for a taste as the oils can be toxic.

Cool, calm, peaceful morning on our trails.

Admittedly not the best photo, but look who we spotted on the shore of the lake yesterday - a mink!

Belden Pond was getting into the Halloween spirit today with a spooky look.
