WESTMINSTER, Vt. – On Saturday, March 28, from 11 a.m. – 12 p.m., the Rockingham Free Public Library will host a “Signs of Spring” walk on the Bald Hill trails in Westminster, Vt. This walk will be led by Hannah Dallas, the Vermont Department of Forests, Parks & Recreation’s southern Windsor County forester.
As April is nearing, it’s time to look for signs of spring. This all-weather outing is perfect for walkers who will enjoy learning about the forested landscape, looking for birds, and exploring the Bald Hill trails with good company. Refreshments are included.
Walkers should meet at 10:45 a.m., at the Cemetery Road entrance to Bald Hill trails, on Route 5 by Bellows Falls Union High School. We will leave for the walk at 11 a.m.
This walk will take place regardless of weather. If there is snow, bring your own snowshoes, poles, and crampons, or borrow them from the Rockingham Free Public Library; please plan to borrow in advance, as they will not be available at the trail. Walkers are also encouraged to bring binoculars; several pairs are available to borrow from the Rockingham Free Public Library as well.
This event is free and open to the public, no sign-up required. For more information about this and other programs, call 802-463-4270, visit www.rockinghamlibrary.org, or stop by the library at 65 Westminster Street, Bellows Falls, Vt.
