Participants will learn key characteristics of common trees in western Massachusetts and get tips to help identify them by species. The 1-mile trail meanders along the Housatonic River and through a charming upland forest. The trail is typically considered an easy route, but it has uneven terrain in some areas with many roots; it also intersects railroad tracks. Some areas of the trail can be wet and muddy.
This walk is sponsored by Berkshire Environmental Action Team. BEAT is a 501(c)(3) non-profit based in Pittsfield, MA. They work with the community to protect the environment for wildlife in support of the natural world that sustains us all.
