RESCHEDULED 04/26 – Hike at Bear Swamp – Hilltowns Hiking Series

April 26, 2018

Date/Time
Date(s) - Apr 26th, 2018
10:00 am - 12:00 pm

Location
Bear Swamp


PLEASE NOTE THIS EVENT HAS BEEN RESCHEDULED FOR THURSDAY, APRIL 26TH. PLAN TO AVOID ROUTE 116/MAIN ST IN THE CENTER OF ASHFIELD DUE TO ROAD CONSTRUCTION, OR ALLOW FOR EXTRA TRAVEL TIME.

Come hike the beautiful Bear Swamp in Ashfield! This property of The Trustees boasts steep, wooded hillsides, boggy wetlands, and vernal pools.

There are 3 miles of trails at the property, but how much of the trails we hike depends on the group. Difficulty is moderate to strenuous in places.

Come dressed for the outdoors and be sure to bring snacks, water, and insect repellent.

Please RSVP to Katie at hltoutreach@thetrustees.org or call (413) 628-4485, ext 4.
