We also enjoy pizza afterwards. In 1997 Grassroots sponsored Congressman Sherwood Boehlert to speak to the Hartwick College student body on environmental issues and policy. Congressman Boehlert has been a member of the U.S. House of Representatives since 1983. Among other positions, Congressman Boehlert is Chairman of the Subcommittee on Water Resources and Environment and serves on the Committee of Science, Subcommittee of Basic Research. Grassroots has adopted the Table Rock hiking trail located adjacent to the Hartwick College campus.
Members clean and maintain the trail each fall and spring.
We have also sponsored many hikes and field trips . In 1997 we watched the lunar eclipse from the Mud Lake Trail at Pine Lake.
