A winter walk through Rensselaer Land Trust’s compact but diverse jewel will take us along the sparking Black Brook, across a field of glacial erratics, and past evidence of people’s efforts long ago to wrest a living from this rocky land. We may also see evidence of river otter. We will snowshoe or hike as conditions warrant; microspikes or traction devices may be needed if trails are icy. We’ll walk about two miles with some steep slopes, negotiating rocky and uneven terrain. Dress appropriately for the weather with extra layers that can be taken off or added as needed. Bring water/hot drink and snacks. Some snowshoes and poles may be available for those who need them, by advance arrangement.

Due to current public health mandates, registration is limited to 9 people. Masks are required, and participants from separate households are encouraged to stay six feet apart. Do not attend if you are not feeling well.

Registration in Advance is Required
