CDTA-Nature-Bus

Do you love hiking and exploring the outdoors? Then hear about Nature Bus, a great FREE service offered each Saturday by the Capital District Transportation Authority (CDTA) that takes folks on routes from downtown Albany to parks and trails in the region. The “Beaver” route goes to Five Rivers Environmental Education Center in Bethlehem (pictured), Six Mile Waterworks, and other locations each Saturday through 9/27. The new “Warbler” route heads from downtown Albany and on to Thacher Park each Saturday through 10/4. For details on the routes, the many other nature destinations, and the many points where you can get on, check the bus 872 schedule at cdta.org. The Nature Bus is run in conjunction with the Mohawk Hudson Land Conservancy (www.mohawkhudson.org). Jonathan Scherzer, CDTA Director of Business Development, also notes three other special CDTA services: Flex on Demand, bike sharing, and electric-car sharing.
