Join volunteer Hike Leader Paul and Programming Coordinator Amy on a full moon hike at Great River Preserve! The Beaver Moon, November's full moon and last supermoon of the year, will reach peak illumination on this night. We will stay out of the woods, hiking the grass paths along the Taunton River which make for easy strolling on much of the preserve. Wear warm clothing and waterproof hiking shoes, as the air can be chilly and the grass wet. A headlamp and/or good flashlight are required.
Registration closes on Thursday, November 14 at 3 pm. Want to sign up after registration closes? Please email: events@wildlandstrust.org
