Details about the Entomological Club Mt. Washington weekend, August 16-18

[Andrea Golden]

Hi all,
Here is information about the upcoming Mt. Washington weekend

Friday night's talk with Heidi Holman will be at the AMC Highland Center at Crawford Notch at 8pm.
Highland Center is off of Route 302. Accommodations are still available at AMC Highland Center, and other budget friendly options are also available.

Friday night’s presentations will be followed by setting up a sheet next to Highland Center! Ideally, we can meet and make plans Friday night while we learn about the local insect biodiversity! Saturday and Sunday’s outings have yet to be determined.

For anyone who is committed to participate in the weekend’s presentations, outings and explorations, please email or text Scott Smyers smy...@oxbowassociates.com or 978-314-6027. Scott will send you a link to a Googlesheet where we can share contact information possible carpooling, and priorities for searching for insects each day and night. 

We can also make sure to match people with experience hiking in the White Mountains with those less experienced to make sure everyone is prepared to minimize risk and maximize enjoyment. However, there are many places that do not require extensive backcountry experience that can be accessed by driving and less strenuous hikes in the Mount Washington area. Possible hikes include the following:
•    Cherry Pond Wildlife Management Area in Jefferson
•    Saco River
•    Frankenstein Cliffs
•    Mt Willard/Mt. Avalalon
•    Ammonoosuc Ravine Trail to Lakes of the Clouds (3 mile hike)
•    Night Lights at Highland Center, Cog Railway, Mt. Washington Hotel (Permission pending)
