We provide: A morning of educational fun, a local researcher/historian and a wonderful hike to help work up a holiday appetite!

Activity info: All participants must register for the event, which will be capped at 18 guests

This activity takes place outdoors in the open air, and though participants often pass each other on the narrow trail, we have lots of room to spread out. With that in mind, masks and vaccination are not required for this activity. However, we require volunteers to stay home when feeling any symptoms of illness (regardless of COVID-19 test result) and fully support participants’ choice to wear a mask if desired.
