Dragonfly walk Saturday

Posted

LOOKOUT, PA — A walk titled “The Wonderful World Of Dragonflies” will be held on Saturday, August 23 at 10 a.m. at Browning Beaver Meadow Sanctuary. Meet at the Observation Deck parking area. Join David Trently on a search through the fields and around the pond for dragonflies and damselflies. David will point out the differences between these types of insects. You’ll learn how to identify many of them – and maybe even have the opportunity to hold one in your hand. Learn how you can help scientists by photographing individuals as you travel around your favorite places. During the walk, David will also point out other interesting wildlife, like birds, butterflies and wildflowers.

Browning Beaver Meadow

A best-kept secret only 25 minutes north of Honesdale, this beautiful 78-acre preserve is owned and maintained by the Northeast Pennsylvania Audubon Society. Wildflowers and birds abound along the 3/4-mile trail, which is open to the public. There are two new parking areas and a wheelchair-accessible observation deck that overlooks a large pond where waterfowl and beaver can be seen.

Directions: From Honesdale, take Route 191 north 16 miles. Turn left at the Lookout General Store on Helmer’s Hill Road. Go 0.8 mile, then turn left at the sanctuary sign on Hawley Road. Call 570/253-9250 for more information.
