Description: Ah, Spring! Trout lilies, trillium, and turtles! And much much more. Spring is rolling out fast, so please consider coming back to see how much has changed in the past few weeks, or join in for the first time as we continue getting to know these woods through the seasons. Pine plantation, wetlands, ponds, and upland forest offer a wealth of change to observe. We will walk through watching for spring plant life, animal activity, lively birds, and continuing changes in the trees, shrubs, and mosses.
Please dress for the weather, and perhaps bring a snack for the wind-down. Trails are clear and fairly dry, and not difficult. Bring water, and walking sticks or poles if you like. Washrooms are not available. Please, no dogs.
Registration is required. Non-members are welcome. All participants will need to sign an insurance waiver.
