Winter Birding with Group for the East End

Promised Land Nature Walk
Saturday, February 27, 10:30 a.m.
Embark on a nature hike through the Promised Land at Napeague State Park with Paul King III of the South Fork Natural History Museum. Sandy soils, scraggly pitch pines and abundant cacti give this unique habitat an almost desert-like appearance in places. Registration is $10 for adults; $7 for kids.
Napeague State Park, Napeague. 631-537-9735, info@sofo.org, sofo.org

Buckskill’s Hardscrabble Loop Hike
Saturday, February 27, 11 a.m.
Join Stephen Murray of the East Hampton Trails Preservation Society for a lovely loop hike on pine-needle-carpeted paths. The group will walk this mostly flat but interesting mixed oak and pitch pine forest through a serene corner of the Buckskill Preserve. Meet on Route 114, just north of the intersection, but do not park at the farm stand.
Route 114, Northwest Harbor. 917-797-6265, ehtps.org
