Timber Rattlesnakes, with Dr. Bill Brown, Vertebrate Zoologist and Herpetologist, Associate Professor Emeritus, Skidmore College
The Timber Rattlesnake is looked upon as an unpopular species; however, I don’t view it that way. Timber Rattlesnakes have an undeserved reputation as dangerous simply by being a member of a group of New World venomous snakes known as “rattlesnakes.” Based on my study of this snake in the wild for the past 35 years, I will present a look at the natural history of this species so that the public and outdoor enthusiasts know what to expect if they encounter one of these snakes in nature. The seasonal activity, reproduction, and behavior of Timber Rattlesnakes, as well as modern medical approaches to snakebite, will be presented.

The Amy’s Park Trail Run Race (offical name TBD) is a 5-mile trail race created to bring attention to the importance of the relationship between the protection of land and the protection of the lake’s water quality in addition to highlighting the holistic benefits of conserving our resources and providing recreation opportunities.

On the morning of October 14^th, racers of all ages will hit the trail at Amy’s Park in North Bolton, outfitted with t-shirts provided by UnderArmor and with official bibs provided by Underdog Racing. Racing for 5 miles over varied terrain in Amy’s Park and hand-timed, each age-groups winner will receive a hand-cut wooden medal by Adirondack Etching commemorating their victory at this first annual race. After the race has been completed, all participants, their supporters and the public are invited to join us for a medal ceremony, raffle and celebration back in Bolton Landing.

Sponsors of the first annual event will have the opportunity to place their logo on participant t-shirts and visibility on all marketing and advertising materials for the race. In addition, recognition in LGLC’s fall newsletter, which reaches 6,000 homes, as well as our social media feeds will be included. All registration costs and sponsorship funds raised for the event will go to benefit the Lake George Land Conservancy’s work and mission to protect the land that protects the lake.

This brand new event is being brought to Bolton by the Lake George Land Conservancy’s NextGeneration Committee, a volunteer group of local men and women who are passionate about protecting the land and the lake and are committed to creating and organizing innovative, engaging events for the Conservancy and for the communities surrounding Lake George.
