Join this collaboration hike between BNRC with Director of Stewardship Doug Brown, and the Massachusetts Department of Conservation and Recreation (DCR) with Tom Ryan, as part of the statewide Dynamic Forest Restoration Initiative. We will learn how local forests are being restored for wildlife, healthy ecosystems, and future generations. Along the trail, we will stop at several past and upcoming project sites to share how thoughtful forestry practices are helping restore forests and create better habitat for wildlife across our landscape. Learn how active forest management can support resilient, thriving forests right here in our region. Hiking route includes off trail sections through the woods on irregular and sometimes wet terrain. Wear hiking footwear. 2 hours–1.75 miles
