Join us this Saturday morning for a trip to Lime Hollow Nature Center where we'll spend some time noticing and appreciating nature all around us! The Paleontological Research Institution by Cayuga Lake hosts a BioBlitz event one weekend every season, and this will be our first time participating 🍄‍🟫📸

Everyone is welcome, whether you're an expert identifier or a total beginner. We've found that teaching each other out on the trail is one of the most fun & memorable ways to increase your knowledge of CNY flora & fauna.

📅 Date: Sunday, July 25th 2026 at 9am

📍 Hike Location: Lime Hollow Nature Center, 338 McLean Rd, Cortland, NY 13045 (Google Maps Directions)

Carpooling:

If you need help getting to the trail or want to offer a ride, feel free to message us at [email protected] or DM us on Instagram @cnyhiking and we’ll do our best to connect folks.

Accessibility & Notes:

We’re not planning for an intense hike, and the trails at Lime Hollow are well maintained and mostly low elevation. We plan on taking frequent stops to observe nature and share our findings with one another.

Feel free to shoot us a message if you have any questions!

Hope to hike with you soon! 💚

Our Last Hike - Beaver Lake Nature Center!

We had an amazing turnout at Beaver Lake, big thanks to everyone who made it out for a stroll through the trails on a warm sunny morning 🌞

Nature is so full of life this time of year, from the dense green foliage filling out the forests to the croaking of frogs along the water 🐸 Stay cool & stay hydrated out there!
