Join us for our free-guided trail walks on Thursdays. Walks are open to all ages with our target group being agile seniors. Please keep in mind that these are wooded trails with stumps, roots and rocks so be sure to wear hiking boots or good walking shoes. If the weather is icy you should bring stabilizers or something for traction. If a lot of snow bring snowshoes. Be aware that our hikes leave promptly so be on time!
This flat walk in WLT’s preserve is through an interesting variety of woods, which are surrounded
by extensive Atlantic White cedar swamp and open peatlands. Park at the parking lot on the left hand side off of Pound Road, (which is off Rte 91, Westerly Bradford Road), we will walk down to the trail head together.
To sign up please contact leader: Sheilia Beattie, 401-741-9240 email: [email protected]
