Event Description

During this guided hike, we’ll see some of the biggest trees in our forest—some over 13’ around! Learn how to identify these trees based on their winter characteristics, such as shape and bark pattern. As we walk past old fields and ruins of 19th-century homesteads, you’ll hear about the history of the land and how human use has influenced our forest. If there is snow cover on the ground, wear warm boots or snowshoes. A limited number of snowshoes are available for members to borrow. Registration is appreciated.
