Winter is a wonderful time to get out for a walk in the woods. The Boothbay Region Land Trust (BRLT) is excited to announce that it has expanded its weekly nature walks to include the winter months. Every Tuesday at 10 a.m., BRLT will offer a hike at a different preserve, year-round. Hikes range from easy to moderate in difficulty and take approximately one hour to complete. These walks are led by a staff naturalist, or one of BRLT’s Wayfarer volunteers who have been trained to share a little about the history and ecology of each site.

Joining a guided walk is a great way to get more comfortable on the trails and to meet some fellow hikers. Discover the preserves in a relaxed setting and witness the changes in nature through the seasons. Hike locations are announced a week in advance so that we can better adapt to changing trail conditions that come with snow and mud seasons.

As always, the Nature Hike series is free and advance registration is not required. Group meets at the trailhead parking lot. To find out the location of each week’s hike, visit the calendar at bbrlt.org, follow Boothbay Region Land Trust on Facebook or contact the office at (207) 633-4818. You are also invited to join the mailing list for hike reminders or weather cancellations by contacting BRLT Environmental Educator Tracey Hall at thall@bbrlt.org.

Hope to see you on the trails!
