Hardwick Trails

Come to the Hardwick Trails and find the “winged ones” arriving in migration to our woodlands! Our talented bird-walk leaders share their love and lore about birds. New to birding? Long-time birder? Youngster or older? It takes all our eyes and ears. Together we’ll see so much more. (To date, 90 species have been identified on the Hardwick Trails. But, we know there are more to discover!)

Come at 7:00am and meet at the Hardwick Trails kiosk behind Hazen Union School parking lot.

Leading walks this year are:
May 2 – Dave Brown
May 9 – Lucian Avery
May 16 – Marie LaPre Grabon
May 23 – Eleanor Hammond and Scarlett Podolin
May 30 – Lucian Avery

Nordic ski lessons will begin at 9:15 AM. The cabin will be open from 9:00 -11:00 for equipment loans.Alternately, join in multigenerational games on skis at 10:00 for a good dose of fun as you challenge your skiing abilities.
