BNRC and OLLI hikers will return to the Thomas & Palmer Brook trail this fall to hike the familiar trails through the meadow, past the wetland, and up to Whale Rock. Participants will then hike the newly opened Great Barrington Community Connector trail that now links the Thomas and Palmer Brook system to the Three Mile Hill trails. Join this hike to explore this new trail that provides for human hikers but also adds a new link to an important wildlife corridor connecting Beartown State Forest and Monument Mountain. The trail ranges from accessible to moderate in difficulty.
Registration opens Monday, August 31 at 9am on OLLI’s website: Register here
