The loop trail is 2 miles long with some steep sections, please wear appropriate footwear and bring water.Instructor's bio: Marvin Pritts was born in rural southwestern Pennsylvania where he spent many hours wandering through the Laurel Highlands identifying trees and collecting insects. He obtained a B.S. in Biology from Bucknell University in 1978, a M.S. in Biology (Plant Ecology) from the University of South Carolina in 1980, and a Ph.D. in horticulture at Michigan State University working with wild species of blueberries. Marvin came to Cornell in 1984 as the berry crop specialist but retained an interest in forest ecology. He co-authored a book on Smith Woods in 2017 and has been involved in its management for more than 20 years.This program is in-person only, a map of the meeting spot (in Danby) will be emailed out closer to the day.
