Perimeter Walk
The Preserve would look very different without our 10-foot-tall deer fence. Have you ever wondered what lies along the edge of such a significant perimeter that encompasses nearly 100 acres of pristine and diverse woodland habitat? Join Naturalist Les Swartley as he takes you on an excursion around our boundary to study the contrast between our grounds and the neighboring landscapes. This is a rigorous walk requiring a good degree of balance. Dress for weather and wear sturdy hiking shoes appropriate for possible wet terrain. Registration required by Oct. 5. »

Winter Solstice Walk
Instead of hunkering down and bemoaning the longest night of the year—also known as the winter solstice—celebrate with a stroll through the Preserve with Education Coordinator Kelly Joslin. We’ll celebrate the joys of winter with a walk on the Preserve trails at a time when the sun is lowest in the sky and we experience the shortest days of the year. We’ll conclude in the Visitor Center with hot drinks and cookies. For ages 8 and up. »
