On Saturday, September 14th from 12-2pm we have a trip to Squaw Island planned with the Buffalo Audubon Society.  This is a great opportunity for you and your Little to get out and explore the great outdoors. Did you         know that Squaw Island is a wetland and is the home to many different bird and animal species that you might not see other places in Western New York? Throughout the two hour trek, a environmental and wildlife expert will teach us interesting facts about the watershed, animals, and environment.  

If you are interested in joining our adventure, please let your case manager know by Wednesday, September 11, 2013.  We hope that you and your Little will be able to come and enjoy Squaw Island with us.
