Guided Discovery Quest Tours During 8th Annual Hudson River Ramble at Hudson Highlands Nature Museum

Hiking the Discovery Quests, photo by George Potanovic, Jr.
On Sundays, September 16, 23 and 30 at 10am the Hudson Highlands Nature Museum will take you on an exciting adventure. Join a Quest Ranger at the Museum's Outdoor Discovery Center, 20 Kenridge Farm Drive, Route 9W, Cornwall, for an opportunity to go on a Guided Discovery Quest Tour.

The museum's unique Discovery Quests are a "museum tour in the woods" where riddles and clues move visitors along the trails learning about nature as they go. The Quest Ranger generally gives Discovery Quest visitors instructions and sends them out on their own to experience the Museum's unique Quests. However, on these three Sundays, the Quest Ranger will lead groups from post-to-post along the Woodland Quest trail. The Woodland Quest is an intriguing path of tree identification and animal habitats of the tree canopy and forest floor. It is a moderate trail with a few short hilly sections.

The museum's Executive Director, Jackie Grant says, "The Discovery Quests are an answer to those who say 'people don't get out into nature anymore.' We are excited to offer this unique outdoor experience designed for people of all ages to do together." Come solve puzzles and rhymes in the Quest Guidebooks and learn as you go. Comfortable shoes are suggested. Bring a backpack with water and snacks. What a wonderful outdoor experience this can be! This program is recommended for adults and children ages 5 and up. Admission is $3. Members are free. Guidebooks are $5 and can be shared. Pre-registration requested, call (845) 534-5506, ext 204. For a listing of more programs visit the Museum's website at www.hhnaturemuseum.org.
