Pop-up Outing at Sadler’s Park in Essex
August 5, 2021 @ 7:00 pm - 9:00 pm
We are excited to announce our first “Pop-up” outing. These outings are intended to be informal, casual and social, and will take place at various locations around Essex County. We will try to send out a notice at least a week before the event.
Pop-ups don’t have an official leader; rather we hope those in attendance will share their knowledge, since there is such a wide range of experiences and interests within the Club’s membership.
One or more members of the Membership Committee will be in attendance to meet at the start of the pop-up. We will also spend some time using the iNaturalist app and the ECFNC iNaturalist Project, so if you have a smart device, we encourage you to bring it along to help identify anything interesting we find and contribute to the Project.
The first pop-up will be at 7 p.m. on Thursday, Aug. 5, at Sadler’s Park (also known as Sadler’s Pond) in the Town of Essex. It will end around 9 p.m. We will meet at the Greenway entrance parking lot off Thomas Avenue (just south of where Thomas and Forest Street meet). Directions from Highway 3: turn east on Maidstone Avenue (County Road 8), then right onto Bell Avenue and then left onto Thomas Street. Or you can turn east off Highway 3 onto Victoria Avenue and then turn left onto Thomas Street.
Additional details:
The parking lot at Sadler’s Park is gravel and the rest of the trail we will be using is cement with no rough terrain. There are no public washrooms at Sadler’s Park, but there are fast-food restaurants nearby with washrooms available on Maidstone Avenue. If there is light rain, we will go ahead with the outing but if it is storming, the outing will be cancelled. We strongly recommend bringing bug spray for mosquitoes.
