The April 17th meeting of North Atlantic Canoe and Kayak will feature a special presentation by the Wildlife Rescue Center of the Hamptons. They plan on bringing along a few of their rescued animals, that for various reasons, cannot be returned to the wild. They will also discuss what we can do as kayakers if we come across injured wildlife while kayaking.
We’ll be meeting at the South Country Library 22 Station Road, Bellport, NY. Map
The usual 6 PM pre-meeting discussion will be followed by a short business meeting and then the wildlife presentation.
