Spring Trips Postponed

April 17, 2020

We’re disappointed to postpone our trips until we can safely get together again. Look for a new self-guided Hike of the Month in our May e-news.

If you’re headed out, please remember:

  • Enjoy your companions from a distance
  • Leash your dog – uncontrolled dog meetups can make things unsafe for their owners too
  • If a trailhead parking is full when you arrive, have a Plan B for a trail less traveled
  • Leave higher elevation and muddy trails until they’ve dried out
  • The Appalachian Trail is closed for now

Trails Softening ~ Bears Out Soon!

March 12, 2012

This week’s unusually warm temperatures mean muddy trails. It’s best to stay off the trails until they dry out and harden up. An exception is the Quinn Trail at Mink Brook Nature Preserve.

Time to bring in your bird feeders! State biologists expect the bears weren’t fooled by this mild winter any more than we were, and ask that you bring in your bird feeders now, and don’t wait until April 1.
