WINDSOR, Mass. — Naturalist educator Aimee Gelinas of Berkshire Hikers and Tamarack Hollow Environmental and Cultural Programs invites residents to join her on Thursday, Aug. 6, in exploring this highland town.
A full-moon hike will take place from 8:30 to 10:30 p.m. at the Eugene Moran Massachusetts Wildlife Area. Participants will explore pasturelands and wet meadows while experiencing westerly sunset views of Mount Greylock and the full "sturgeon" moon rising to the east. Appropriate for ages 8 and older. Bring a headlamp, snack to share and wear waterproof boots, long pants/sleeves and a hat for bug protection.
A highland plant and tree identification hike will take place Saturday, Aug. 15, from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. also at the Moran property. Participants will be shown how to identify the various plants and trees such as sundew, alder and low-bush blueberry on an easy hike among moist pasturelands and mixed forests.
The free programs are sponsored in part by a grant from the Windsor Cultural Council. Registration is required for both events at aimee@gaiaroots.com; more information is available at www.tamarackhollow.com.
