Join the Thursday Hikers for free guided trail hikes on Thursday mornings. These hikes begin at 10:00 AM unless otherwise stated and leave promptly, so please arrive on time. This group will visit various local conservation properties, including some Westerly Land Trust (WLT) preserves. If you would like to lead a hike for the next series, please contact Sally at sallyhanson242@gmail.com.
Important Notes
- Sign Up Required: Sign up with the listed hike leader so they know how many are coming. If no one signs up the leader may not show up!
- Thursday hikes are FREE.
- Distance/ Target Group: Walks are 1 ½ to 3 hours and are open to all ages with the target group being agile seniors.
- Estimated Times: Ending times are estimated as it is difficult to ascertain when it will finish due to the number of people, how fast/slow the hikers walk, etc. Hikes leave promptly.
- Inclement weather: Inclement weather cancels and if in doubt, contact the leader.
- Dogs: If you wish to bring a dog, contact the leader as some properties do not allow them. If a dog is present, they must be leashed at all times.
