The minutes from our January meeting are now on the Meetings tab.

Our next planning meeting will be on Thursday, January 25th, 2024 via Zoom at 7pm. To receive an update with the Zoom link in January, please sign up to the Google Group and receive an email. You can learn how to sign up on the About page. Hope to see you then!

A Flashbot is a field trip organized in a short amount of time and on September 20 the ABS visited the newly acquired meadows and woods of the Adirondack Land Trust at the corner of Loj Road and Route 73 where there is the spectacular view of the high peaks. It is not yet open to the public but ALT personnel let us botanize for about 3 hours cataloging 97 species of woodland and meadow species. You can see many of the species we saw on the iNaturalist project called High Peaks Vista. We thank the ALT for allowing us to botanize this beautiful property and we look forward to returning next season.

This will be a Zoom meeting to discuss past, present, and future of the ADK Orchid Survey.

When: May 9, 2023 07:00 PM Eastern Time (US and Canada)
