Please join us on Friday August 16th at Mount Rose Preserve for an evening hike. One of our newer trails, we will explore early successional red cedar stands and a mature forest of mixed hardwoods and American beech. The forest trail also goes past our forest restoration project, featuring a deer exclosure protecting native plants from excessive browse.

The walk will take place from 6:00PM to 7:30PM. Registration is required due to limited parking.

This hike is part of the FoHVOS SUMMER HIKE SERIES. Join FoHVOS throughout the growing season (through October), to discover a variety of great hikes in our preserves!  We’ll host two hikes each month, a morning weekend hike and an evening hike, as daylight allows. These events are planned to keep a casual to modest pace, and will include stops to interpret seasonal nature, from bird song and butterfly behavior to summer wildflower identification and insect-admiring. Terrain will differ with each hike, depending on location.   

These hikes will be led by our Executive Director, Jenn Rogers. No experience is necessary to join these hikes, just advanced registration, as parking lot and trail conditions limit the number of participants. If you have binoculars, and like using them, bring them along too!
