Folks,

Very sorry I have yet to finalize and publish a Buffalo-Niagara Nature Almanac post for Week 22 (May 28-June 3, 2019). Preparing for and attending the Allegany Nature Pilgrimage this weekend took priority. As always, it was a wonderful weekend of nature-themed programs in Allegany State Park! For my wife, Kristen, and me, it is our favorite weekend of the year. Please mark your calendars for next year’s Pilgrimage, schedule for May 29-31, 2020 (always the weekend after Memorial Day).

If you have a few minutes, please check out the Pilgrimage web page and/or Facebook page for more event details:

Better yet, see pages 18-21 for February 2018 Conservationist articles written by my wife, Kristen Rosenburg (“The Best Weekend in the Woods”), and Megan Mills Hoffman (“A Frantic Pilgrimage with Friends and Family”) – available at the following link:
