Westchester Insider: Westchester County Legislator Erika Pierce 2nd District: Join me for an Animal Visit and Hike at Muscoot Farm - Saturday, 4/30.


Dear Friends and Neighbors, 

When spring arrives, baby farm animals are never far behind. Join me and Farm Manager, Jonathan Benjamin, for an animal visit and hike at Muscoot Farm on Saturday April 30th at 10am! If the timing is right, we may get to greet some newly born Muscoot residents.

We will meet in front of the Muscoot Farm Welcome Center at 10am and start with a farm animal visit. Afterwards we will take a hike around some of the park’s seven miles of hiking trails. If hiking is not for you, you can join us for the first portion of the event. Sneakers or hiking shoes are recommended.


Parking is free, and there is no cost to attend. The event will run even in light rain and will cancel only in the case of extreme weather.  While registration is not required, you can
 register here - https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSfe8DuKQE5FCGC4bpYOlBOQNSeTVo-Ar1hXETx-YArhKL3xYg/viewform so we can keep in touch with you should there be any changes due to weather. 

Our tour guide will be Jonathon Benjamin, the newly appointed Farm Manager of Muscoot Farm and former Park Curator. Muscoot Farm is an interpretive farm and park located in Somers, NY. Muscoot Farm was once a gentleman’s dairy farm that operated from 1880 to 1967, when the county acquired it. Many of its original buildings and pastures remain as living testament to Northern Westchester’s agricultural past, and present. This is a great opportunity to learn about our local county parks, especially if you have never been there before, and the resources they offer for us.

Sincerely,


Erika Pierce
