A Visit to Five Rivers
Here's some sights from the visit by our
computer campers
during our Summer 1996 Cyber Haus Computer Camp.
Located in the Capital District of New York, the
Five Rivers Environmental Education Center is a great place to
get close to the environment.
Five Rivers includes five trails:
- Beaver Tree Trail (1/2 mile loop)
- This trail circle a man-made pond. Along the way
you can see many forms of aquatic animal and plant life.
- Woodlot Trail (1/8 mile loop)
- This trail winds through a woodlot of trees and shrubs. You can see
some glimpses of birds and small wildlife.
- Old Field Trail (1/2 mile loop)
- This trail is figure-eight in shape, and leads you through an abandoned orchard
and field. Sometimes you can witness the stages of plant succession and their
associated wildlife.
- North Loop Trail (2 mile loop)
- This trail passes through fields and forests along
the Center's boundary.
- Vlomankill Trail (3/4 mile loop)
- This sometimes steep trail winds through a hemlock-chaded ravine
on the banks of the Vlomankill sttream. Don't forget to follow
the yellow chip road!
