April Fool’s Hike to be held at National Historic Site

Oyster Bay, NY – Truth or tall tale? A milk snake really drinks milk. Skunks love to eat skunk cabbage. See if you can catch the fakery from the facts on a special hike at Sagamore Hill National Historic Site, Saturday, April 1, from 11:00 a.m. – 12:30 p.m. Join naturalist Lois Lindberg for some light-hearted fun on an irreverent tour of the grounds and nature trails.

It’s finally time to get outdoors and enjoy the spring. It seems that Mother Nature played a joke on us this winter. After all the cold, snowy weather, the trees in the woods will be re- leaved!

The nature walk will meet behind the park Visitor Center. It is free of charge and will last approximately 1 ½ hours. Please dress for the weather and bring a sense of humor!
