3 sessions

Each session will be a walk or hike in various meadows, woodlands, or mountains in the vicinity of Farmington. The travel time to the trailhead will generally be between 30 and 45 minutes, and participants should plan to be on the trail for 1 to 2 hours. Efforts will be made to avoid difficult terrain, and a makeup date will be scheduled in the event of cancellation.

Approximately one week before each session, participants will receive an individual email detailing the travel plan, providing information about the destination, and offering suggestions on what to bring.

Three sessions are planned for summer paddles on one of our many local streams, ponds, or lakes. These are relaxed paddles in your own canoe or kayak to enjoy the natural world. Each outing begins between 9 and 10 am and ends between noon and 1 pm. They have been known to include lunch out or on the shore, as folks prefer. Make-up dates will be held if possible.

About a week before each session, each person will receive an individual email describing the travel plans. Information will be provided about the destination, suggesting what to bring.
