Inclusion Partner: 2025 First Day Cocoa + Critter Stroll

INCLUSION PARTNER:  Genesee Land Trust

Join Genesee Land Trust for a 2025 First Day Cocoa + Critter Stroll! 

Event Description:

Genesee Land Trust invites people of all ages and abilities for a special cocoa toast to celebrate the return of the fisher to Brookdale Preserve. The fisher – a very important member of the forest – was once hunted nearly to extinction for its thick dark fur. But now, thanks to decades of conservation, we’re finally starting to see the fisher again.

Start your new year with this fun-for-everyone stroll to look for signs of the fisher and learn more about this special tree-climbing critter, like why it’s sometimes called a “fisher cat” when it doesn’t eat much fish and isn’t a cat at all!

Genesee Land Trust will provide warm drinks and light snacks – please bring a mug. We will also be collecting nonperishable items for the state’s food drive.

Find more details about the trail, parking, ADA porta john, and other accessibility information on their event page: 2025 First Day Cocoa + Critter Stroll — Genesee Land Trust
