Drought Awareness Hike - October 16, 2022

Drought Awareness Hike October 16

Princeton's Environmental Action and Open Space Committees and Conservation Commission invite residents to join them on Sunday, October 16, at 10 am for a hike from Krashes Field to the Peabody/Metcalf property. We'll pass through first and second succession forest and hay fields, by a beaver pond and a fire pond, all the while discussing how climate change (and drought in particular) is impacting our beloved environment. Please join us!

The planned route will be approximately 4 miles in length, with a shorter option for those interested. We'll meet/park at Krashes Field and follow the Bullock/McElroy Loop to Cary trail, then on to the parking area at the intersection of Routes 31 and 62 at Hall Field at about 10:45. Those interested in a shorter walk (approximately 2 miles) can join us at Hall Field for the Russell Corner section, which will consist of Hall Field Trail, Poor Family and Peabody/Metcalf loops. From there, the Krashes group will continue down Bullock Lane to the Bullock/McElroy Loop to the High Esker and back to Krashes Field.
