Upcoming Hikes

Sunday, October 18th, 2:00-4:00 PM

Highland Pond Preserve, Middletown

In partnership with Everyone Outside, come join naturalist, Andie Bisceglia for a family-friendly 1-mile hike at the Highland Pond Preserve in north-western Middletown. We will stop along the way for fun hands-on activities to learn about the plants and animals around us. This is an out and back hike on a flat trail and is open to nature lovers of all age. Fall is a great time to see all the work that has been done at this preserve in the last year. Come prepared for the weather, and bring a pack with water and perhaps a snack. If you have very young children or infants, you may want to bring a backpack carrier.
