Winter Pop Up Nature Hikes
2024-12-21 - 2025-03-21
Pop-Up Winter Nature Hikes
Explore the Wonders of Winter on the Preserves
This winter, Boothbay Region Land Trust is offering spontaneous “pop-up” nature hikes on our preserves! Led by a naturalist, these leisurely 1-2 mile walks are a perfect opportunity to immerse yourself in the beauty of the season, explore diverse landscapes, and learn about the fascinating ecology of our local environment.
Each hike will rotate through different preserves, providing a chance to discover new trails or revisit favorites with fresh winter perspectives. Along the way, we’ll pause to share insights into the diverse plant and animal life that call our preserves home.
Since these hikes depend on favorable weather and trail conditions, they will be announced just a few days in advance.
Want to join us? Stay in the loop by signing up to receive email notifications for upcoming pop-up hikes. Simply fill out the form below, and we’ll keep you informed!
