Depending upon the weather conditions there may be a need for some traction for ice. The leader will communicate weather conditions before the hike. I will have some CMT wood specimens for viewing used to determine the age of a tree, through dendrochronology and analysis of the tree. Trees have been cut with permission.
Heidi Wigand.Nicely, an officer and member of the Native American Special Trees and Places, NASTaP.org will be sharing her knowledge of the trees.
This is a dog friendly hike for well behaved dogs. They must be kept on a leash at all times.
