SUMMARY:Nature Hike with The Bird House - Trout Brook Trail
DESCRIPTION:Sunday\, September 27th\, 2026 from 9am to 11am: Nature Hike with The Bird House. Join Bird House Staff Cassidy as she leads a hike on Trout Brook Trail in Victor New York. This trail is located right near Ganondagon. The trail is about 2.4 miles long and takes around 50 min to complete. Cassidy plans on making some stops for breaks and to look for birds so it might be around 1 hour and 30 min to complete. The trail can be muddy if it’s after a rain so please bring proper footwear. There are a few steep inclines\, but they are short and spaced out throughout the trail and again Cassidy is more than happy to take breaks as needed. Walking sticks might help as well if you have them.  \nThe trail is beautiful and goes past multiple ponds\, creeks and wetlands where there is plenty of evidence of beavers as well. You also get to see a lot of open fields with beautiful views of the area. The trail is a loop and you can navigate it through the All Trails app as well if you search “Trout Brook Trail”. \nThis event is free but RSVP is required. This will help Cassidy have an idea of how many people are attending. \nThere is a gravel parking lot at the trail head. To find it you can put this address in google maps. It is listed as the “Seneca Trail Creepy Barn Parking Lot” which yes there is a barn\, but don’t worry it isn’t creepy. Also\, there are no bathrooms at the start of the trail\, however Dryer Road Park nearby should have facilities that are open.  \nAddress: 7191 Co Rd 41\, Victor\, NY 14564 \nFor any questions please contact Cassidy via email: cassidy@thebirdhouseny.com

SUMMARY:Nature Hike with The Bird House - Lehigh Valley Trail
DESCRIPTION:Sunday\, September 13th\, 2026 from 9am to 10am: Nature Hike with The Bird House. Join Bird House Staff member Cassidy as she leads a nature walk on the Lehigh Valley Trail. If you don’t like walking alone this walking group will be just your type of thing! The walk will begin at Lehigh Valley Trail at Rochester Junction on Plains Road. We will definitely be looking and listening for birds\, but the main focus of our nature walks are just to take in the fresh air and enjoy the scenery with a group of fellow walkers. \nThe walk will be 30 min to an 1 hour depending on the pace of the group. Cassidy will make sure to walk at a pace that is comfortable for everyone. The walk is about 1-2 miles\, but completely flat and relatively short to complete. There is also a lot of historic signage about the train depot along with an entire trail as well as some artifacts being overtaken by nature – like a whole boxcar! \nThis event is free but RSVP is required.  This will help Cassidy have an idea of how many people are attending. \nThere is parking on both sides of the road when you arrive at the trail head. Bathrooms are available at the start of the trail \nAddress: Lehigh Valley Trail Trailhead at Rochester Junction on Plains Road\, Honeoye Falls\, NY 14472 \nFor any questions please contact Cassidy via email: cassidy@thebirdhouseny.com
