Hike the John P. and Jean L. Wedick Natural Reserve with us and enjoy this privately owned peice of conserved land being open to the public for this hike only. The 120-acre property is unusually diverse. Most prominently, it lies at the bottom of an ancient glacial lake and offers unmistakeable evidence of our region’s geological past, with layers of sand and gravel (varves). Join us on Wednesday August 30th to learn more about the areas geologic history!
The summer nature walks are open to hikers of all ages and abilities, this walk is relatively flat and will be at a slow to moderate pace.
