Hike with Santa at Bartholomew’s Cobble

09:13AM / Wednesday, December 10, 2008

SHEFFIELD, Mass. – On the Saturday before Christmas, don your boots and join Santa for a half-mile walk through the frozen landscape of Bartholomew’s Cobble. Santa will teach children about nature and the wonders of winter. At the end of the hike, Santa will hand out small nature-related presents in the warmth of the visitor center.

This event was offered for the first time last year, and parents appreciated having this fun way to introduce their children to hiking and the outdoors, according to Rene Wendell the Naturalist Ranger at Bartholomew’s Cobble. “Last year everyone saw deer and bobcat tracks and a bird’s nest. This is one holiday event that is wholesome and healthy and non-commercial!”

Join Santa and his elves for the adventure on December 20 from 10am to noon. Adults are free and the price is $10 for each child (includes price of present). Please pre-register to The Trustees of Reservations at 413-229-8600.

Bartholomew’s Cobble is a National Natural Landmark in Sheffield, known for its scenic trails and its diversity of plants and wildlife. It is owned and managed by The Trustees of Reservations, a member-supported conservation organization. The cost of admission is $5 for adults and $1 for children. The trails are open daily from dawn to dusk. During the winter months, the visitor center and natural history museum are open Tues-Sun and there is free hot chocolate included with the price of admission. Dogs are asked to stay at home. For more information, and for a schedule of guided winter walks, call the Cobble or check the website at www.thetrustee.org.
