Volunteer Spotlight: Vernal Pool Plunge!

May 14, 2020

A group pf 17 volunteers stand around and inside a small wooded wetland called a Vernal Pool at Hilltown Land Trust's Vernal Pool Plunge event.

Recap for the Fundraiser Hike for All Out Adventures

July 27, 2019

After a whirlwind of activity preparing for this hike on the beautiful trail at Breckenridge Sanctuary, the event moved up the hill to Goshen’s Town Hall. The heat index for both Saturday and Sunday of that weekend was over 105 degrees, hot enough to be concerned about the potential for heat exhaustion. Letting go of […]
