IMPORTANT: READ THIS CAREFULLY BEFORE SIGNING UP FOR THE TOURS AND TALKS!
CALL (914) 835-2153 at least 24 hours in advance to reserve a place (don't e-mailreservations, things tend to go wrong when people try that), or for travel directions, starting times for out-of-town tours, or other questions.
CONFIRM OR CANCEL your reservation the evening before the tour. It's absolutely necessary to know who's coming and who's not. Walks are called off for severely inclement weather.
THOSE WHO DISRUPT A TOUR by not showing up and failing to phone to cancel the night before will be required to pay a $20 penalty before being allowed on another tour.
Please don't skunk us!
