This exploration will include approximately 2 miles of walking, with some steep elevation changes. Polarized sun glasses will help you see some of the life in the vernal pool. No dogs permitted.
Register using the form above. Limited to 20 participants due to parking restrictions at the trail head, and the sensitive habitat. The walk starts at noon, and the rally point will be given to participants after registration.

MLT owns more than 350 acres across our member communities, protects another 162 acres through Conservation Restrictions, and has assisted in the conservation of another 900 acres---land that is now town open space, state parks and forests, and state wildlife management areas.
