Adventures with Alyssa Rose

I saw this beautiful Great Blue Heron on the Erie Canal this week. I love going for a walk or a run in the early to mid morning. The wildlife is so active!

Another amazing Friday! We didn’t have the best luck locating our cold blooded buddies, but did find this beautiful Red-Backed Salamander at the very end. We also survived our living board game migration, and had a blast using our adventure kits. Thank you to all who joined us!

Such a beautiful day for a Turtle Trek at the Palmyra Wetlands! We saw 38 turtles, played turtle tag, and made some adorable bead turtles. Thank you to everyone who joined us!

I have been leading hikes as a certified program guide since January, but today I used my other two certifications for the first time! Kayaking and Fishing Program Guide. It was so much fun!

Salamander Strolls at Bullis Park COMING SOON!

Are your kids amazed by salamanders and other creatures they find outside? Then join Adventures with Alyssa Rose for a Salamander Stroll at Bullis Park to learn more about the sneaky species of salamanders that live all around us.

Start with a 0.5 mile hike through the forest talking about and looking for salamanders.

At the end of the hike participants will make their way back down the path by playing Migrate Like a Mole Salamander, a living board game adaptation of The Great Migration Challenge from Project Wild.

Finally, we will make a salamander themed craft or listen to a salamander story.

The first stroll is April 12th.

More information and registration link will be posted soon!
