Hiking Through the Decades: Willard Pond

  • This event has passed.

The SuperSanctuary is now greater than 33,000 acres, but it wasn’t always. In celebration of our 50th Anniversary, we’re offering Hiking Through the Decades, a four-hike series that will trace the history of the Harris Center’s land protection efforts, starting in the 1980s and continuing through to the present. Join Eric Masterson and Phil Brown for the second outing in the series – a moderately-strenuous, 3-mile roundtrip hike through the dePierrefeu-Willard Pond Wildlife Sanctuary, with an elevation gain of approximately 1,000 feet.

We’ll climb to an overlook on Bald Mountain, where we’ll survey some of the land conservation work undertaken in the 1990s that protected the eastern and northern shoreline of Willard Pond. As the pond is in the SuperSanctuary, we’ll also be counting species for our Big Year of Birding — hopefully including Willard Pond’s resident loons!

Space is limited, and registration is required. Please read our COVID-19 outing guidelines before registering. Meeting location details will be provided upon registration. For more information or to register, please contact Eric by email.
