FUNG-US AMONG-US: MUSHROOM WALK ON THE HARDWICK TRAILS
SATURDAY, JUNE 29 AT 9:00AM @ THE HARDWICK TRAILS KIOSK

Join Arthur Hynes and Joe Nudell for a fungus foray on the Hardwick Trails. We will learn the basics of mushroom ecology by walking through several different mushroom habitats on the trails and collecting a variety of different species — including potentially some edible ones! At the end of the walk we will go through our findings together and practice identifying mushrooms by examining their distinguishing features.

Arthur and Joe recommend bringing a foraging basket and/or paper bags, a sharp knife and brush, and a field guide, if you have one. You may also wish to bring a camera, the iNaturalist app on your phone, and gloves. (All mushrooms are perfectly safe to handle, but some can be slimy!!)

This free event is sponsored by the Hardwick Trails Committee. The Trails Kiosk is located behind the Hazen Union School parking lot.

SATURDAY BIRD WALK FINALE ON THE HARDWICK TRAILS

Birding, Events

The Every-Saturday-in-May Bird Walks on the Hardwick Trails’ finale is this Saturday (May 25) at 7:00am with Marie LaPre Grabon. Marie has truly “earned her wings” in birding and has enormous enthusiasm for helping folks hear and see these creatures. This past week has brought a crescendo of warblers to our area (along with many others), so we are in for a treat.

The highest total number of species on a single walk so far this season is 29. If you like competition, maybe you want to come and help make this final walk’s score even higher!

We meet at the Trails kiosk behind the Hazen Union parking lot.

The Hardwick Trails Committee sponsors these free events and welcomes seasoned and beginner birders of all ages. Questions? Call Norma Wiesen at 802-472-6517.

Adaptive Sports, Experiences

For the second consecutive year, Adaptive Sports Partners and the Hardwick Recreation Committee are joining forces to ensure that the trails of Hardwick remain open and accessible to all. Striving to eliminate barriers and promote inclusivity, the partnership is offering a series of free programming sessions tailored for athletes with disabilities. Every Monday throughout the summer, individuals of all abilities are invited to participate in biking, mountain biking, and hiking activities, fostering not only physical well-being but also a sense of community and belonging. The schedule is as follows: biking on the Lamoille Valley Rail Trail from 3 p.m. to 4 p.m., mountain biking on Hazen Trails from 6 p.m. to 7 p.m., and hiking from 9 a.m. to 10 a.m.

Come one, come all, is the resounding call as Adaptive Sports Partners extends a warm invitation to individuals with physical, developmental, emotional, and behavioral disabilities. With sessions scheduled every Monday, participants can embark on exhilarating biking adventures along the Lamoille Valley Rail Trail and the Hazen Trails, or opt for serene hikes amidst nature’s embrace. The inclusivity doesn’t end on the trails; Adaptive Sports Partners will also be present at the Hardwick Spring Fest, providing an opportunity for curious minds to explore adaptive equipment and engage with the team. To secure a spot or seek further information, prospective participants are encouraged to reach out to Program Manager Kerry Hussey at kerry@adaptivesportspartners.org or dial 802-427-4116. In the heart of Hardwick, a community united by the joy of sports and the spirit of inclusivity awaits.  Additionally, we are seeking volunteers to help support this program; we provide all training! Join us in making a difference in the lives of others.
