Highlights
Winter gets a bad rap as far as seasons go, but it is a great time to explore nature in a different way. Join WalkCT Family Guide and naturalist Emma Lorusso for an interpretive hike that will explore the fun of winter. Snow, animal tracks, and ice crystals are just a few topics that may be discussed. Families as well as singles are welcome.

Pre-registration is not necessary, but appreciated. Contact Emma at (860) 455-9534 or [email protected] with any questions and to register.
