The programs are for children age 9-17, and the sessions take place at Bowdoin Park in the Town of Poughkeepsie and Wilcox Memorial Park in the Town of Milan. These sessions are very popular, and due to that sessions will be limited to 12 participants and one session per student.

Why Did It Have to be Snakes?
It s so nice to see the sunshine and hear the birds chirp again, but one thing that I don t like to see is some of the creatures that have started to make their presence known on my property.
Since I was a child, I have never been a fan of snakes. I don t see anything to like about them, and let s face it, they re creepy as hell, if I m being honest. during my life, I ve never really had to deal with snakes too much. I always knew they were in this area, but I never had the displeasure of running into one while out exploring the Hudson Valley.
