SHERBURNE – Friends of Rogers Environmental Education Center is offering two programs on May 7th at Rogers Center. The first is a Wildflower Hike program, which is a great way to spend time outdoors with Mom on Mother’s Day weekend.

The hike will be on Cush Hill and Marsha Guzewich, retired NYS DEC Environmental Educator, will be leading the hike and identifying wildflowers along the way. This educational program is free to attend and sponsored by the Otis Thompson Foundation.

Participants can register to attend by emailing Simon at info@friendsofrogers.org or calling Friends of Rogers at 607-674-4733.

Join us Saturday, May 7 as 150 state parks, historic sites, and public lands across New York State will be hosting improvement projects such as cleaning up parklands and beaches, planting trees and gardens, restoring trails and wildlife habitats, removing invasive species, and working on various site enhancement projects.
