LGLC Discovery Series: Hike, Explore and Learn

NA

The LGLC is again partnering with Up Yonda Farm Environmental Education Center to offer a series of Naturalist-led hikes, February through October.

Geared toward learners of all ages, outings all take place at preserves primarily within the Town of Bolton. Thanks to a grant from Sylvamo, the 2026 Series includes three new excursions to be held at Peggy’s Point in Hague, the Sucker Brook Preserve in Putnam, and Schumann Preserve in Fort Ann. Hikes vary in difficulty, but are generally easy/moderate and take 1.5 to 2 hours. Registration is required at least 24 hours in advance.
