Grab your broomstick, or at least your paddle, and join Berkshire Natural Resources Council for this festive autumn paddle on Stockbridge Bowl. Whether you're a witch, wizard, warlock, or simply a lover of fall fun, all are welcome for an enchanting experience on the water.
Come dressed in your favorite witchy attire or whatever you are most comfortable in. Boat decorations add to the fun. We'll cast off together, paddle through the crisp autumn air, and celebrate the season and BNRC surrounded by the beauty of the Berkshires.
No tricks, just treats! Participation is free. We will also be using this opportunity to share information about BNRC and fundraise for Berkshire conservation. Cash and credit card donations of any amount are gratefully appreciated.
So, gather your coven, and prepare for a wicked good time on the water!
BNRC is grateful to our bewitching friends, Leah Larmon and Jeanne Schackenberg, who started this magical tradition!
