Easygoing Hike at the Heald Tract
Explore the Forest Society's Heald Tract on a 1.5-mile hike with Phil Brown and David West. Along the way, we'll search for signs of wildlife and loop through a recently harvested forest to see how both plants and wildlife are responding to the changing landscape.
Big Trees and Big Rocks: The Pines and Glacial Erratics of Sheldrick Forest
Best known for its old-growth white pines, Sheldrick Forest also features glacial erratics, a forested ravine, and meandering brooks. Join Tom Eid, Mary Verrilli, and Ally Snell for a 3-mile exploration of this TNC preserve, and to learn what makes this place so special.
Easygoing Hike at Mosquitobush
From the mid-1800s through the 1930s, Nubanusit Brook turned the machinery for small mills in the hamlet known as Mosquitobush. Today, that land is held in conservation. Join Harris Center ecologist Brett Amy Thelen and John Knight of Historic Harrisville to explore the natural and cultural history of Mosquitobush — at a time of year when its namesake won’t be a bother!
