Depending on season, tide and weather, visitors will learn about everything from Munsee firefly and star lore to nocturnal sturgeon fishing techniques.
Tours are guided by ethnoecologist Justin Wexler of Wild Hudson Valley, who has studied Hudson Valley indigenous culture, language, and history for twenty years.
