This series of hikes, led by Harris Center teacher-naturalist Janet Altobello, is designed for teams of women and girls (ages 9 and up): mothers and daughters, aunts and nieces, grandmothers and granddaughters, neighbors, and friends. We’ll blend skill building (what to bring on a spring hike, map reading, safety) with exploring the wonders of spring in our woodlands, wetlands, and hilltops. Each hike will include quiet time to slow down and use our senses, and conclude with a trail picnic (bring your own). Thursdays, May 3, 10, and 17, from 4:30 to 7 p.m. in Stoddard, Hancock, or Nelson. Hikes will go rain or shine.

Participants are asked to sign up for the entire series, as our goal is to create a supportive community of outdoor adventurers. Space is limited and registration is required. For more information and to register, contact Sara LeFebvre at (603) 525-3394 or by email.
