4 By Jeffery Reynolds, 4-H Educator Fall season is upon us! The leaves are starting to change, days are growing shorter, and mornings are chilly and crisp as summer fades away. Though we will miss long summer days and warm nights, we have a brandnew exciting season approaching! So why not start thinking about some fun outdoor activities you can do to celebrate the coming of autumn. Play Some Pick-Up Football. Labor Day weekend officially kicked off football season, so what better way to celebrate than to play some football yourself? Grab family and friends and head out to the park or backyard for some down-set-hike! Take a Scenic Drive. Early to mid-fall is one of the prettiest times of the year, as the trees still have most of their leaves, which have turned vibrant with the coming cold. This is one of the best times to take a drive through the woods, around town, or through the mountains. Do Some Photography. Bright multi-colored leaves, teaming autumn wildlife, colorful pumpkins and gourds, and clear, sunny days make for great photo opportunities. See what amazing autumn things you can capture on your camera! Go Camping. Cooler, dryer weather means fewer bugs and fewer people, so fall is one of the best times to go camping. Just remember your cold weather camping gear, and you will be toasty and comfortable in the chilly autumn air! Go Climbing/Hiking. One of the best times of the year to rock climb or take a hike is during the fall. As leaves begin to drop and greenery wanes in anticipation for winter, rock faces become more exposed. Cooler weather also means fewer bugs zipping around your face as you make your way up the cliff or down the trail! Go Pumpkin Picking. Fall season means one thing pumpkin season! Restaurants, coffee shops, grocery stores, and many other places around town start selling pumpkin foods, drinks, and products to welcome in the season. You will also be able to find whole pumpkins all over town, whether you want to go pick your own at a patch or get one from the store. If you do take a trip to your local pumpkin patch, you can do many fun, free activities that they offer, like hayrides, corn mazes, and petting zoos. Make a jack-o-lantern with your new prized pumpkin and be sure to keep the seeds so you can roast them. Visit an Orchard. Tis the season for apple picking! The prime months for ripe apples are September and October, and most local orchards open their doors to the public during this time to do some picking. Just think of all the pies, apple butter, cider, and applesauce you can make! Moreover, even if you are not a big apple eater, just strolling through the trees in the cool fall weather is a great way to spend the day!

5 The 4-H Adventure Club is an exciting, outdoors, action-packed club that is ready to grow its membership! If you are interested in shooting sports, hiking, and just plain outdoor fun, this is the club for you! Checkout what 4-H has to offer and let us help you get out and get fit. Our Adventure Club is just one of many clubs that offers an experiential environment to meet up with old friends or connect with new. Most events are to be announced and are open to all 4-H members. For more information about the Adventure Club and other 4-H Clubs, please contact the office at The 2017 Winter Outdoor Survival Camp, from February 19-24, 2017, is an excellent opportunity for military youth ages to enjoy the outdoors during the winter. Youth will sleep in an Adirondack lodge, but during the day, they will travel through the 1,200-acre forest on snowshoes and cross-country skis. Youth will learn how to build shelters to protect themselves from the winter elements, learn different ways to build fires in the ice and snow and stay warm, administer emergency first aid, build a small survival kit (to take home) and prepare meals over the fire. The youth will strengthen their physical skills in preparation for a long trek to an iced over waterfall at the end of the week. Outside of these activities, the youth will share camaraderie around evening bonfires and participate in leadership teambuilding activities. The friendships and memories from this camp will last forever. October-November 2016 Green Ink Newsletter Contact us for more information at or jefferson@cornell.edu.
