Program Description

Event Details

Let's learn about hiking our beautiful island! Lee McAllister, a naturalist, photographer and the author of two books on hiking, will discuss the many hiking opportunities available on Long Island. He will cover the geology, history (natural and human), flora, fauna and topographical features that make Long Island such an interesting place to hike in any season. Hiking opportunities in Nassau and Suffolk counties are encompassed in this discussion. Other topics include winter hiking, photographing natural landscapes and ways to get young people outdoors closer to nature. All welcome!

Lee was active in the scouting, blazing and maintaining the 115 mile long Paumanok Path that runs from Rocky Point to Montauk Point. He is the author of Hiking Long Island, now in its 4th edition.
