Join the Early Conservation Career Network for a casual hike among the beautiful fall colors that bring thousands of tourists to the Berkshires every year. We'll start by meeting in downtown Lee and eating our meals (sandwiches or salads from Loeb's Foodtown -- courtesy of ECCN!) at the nearby park. Then, we'll head to Basin Pond Reserve, owned by Berkshire Natural Resources Council, for a hike around its 2.5-mile loop trail through boulder fields and under beautiful mixed forest canopy. A viewing platform offers a scenic vista of the pond, beaver lodges and dams, and a historic (human-made) dam. This hike is moderate difficulty and appropriate hiking footwear, fall attire, bug spray, sunscreen, and water are recommended. This event will be canceled with roughly 24 hours notice in case of heavy rain or thunderstorms. Capacity: 15 attendees.
Registration is required. If you would like to order lunch, please include your lunch selection in the registration form along with your details. View Loeb's Foodtown menu here. Please share any food allergies, dietary restrictions, or other requested accommodations with the event organizer, Johnny Robinson (jrobinson@bnrc.org).
Meeting location will be sent to registrants.
