SUMMARY:Hike Through Mosaic of Glacial Landforms and Ecologies
DESCRIPTION:This event is a guided hike through several conservation parcels that were sculpted by the 2-mile high glacier that covered and then receded from the Northeast tens of thousands of years ago. The resulting kettle ponds\, eskers\, drumlins\, and extensive wetlands in between\, created prime conditions for exceptional biodiversity. These features also made development of the land more impractical and this has allowed many rare or endangered species to survive and even flourish. Part of the hike will show how development can be integrated into the natural environment with good success but will also show areas that have been largely untouched over thousands of years. \nThe trails are suitable for families. Dogs must be on leashes and well-behaved. A waiver form must be signed on the day of the event to participate in the hike. \nPARKING & ACCESS: Please park on Northwoods Rd. near a pond that is a few hundred feet to the west of Nashua Rd. The trails are not accessible. However\, the trails are also moderately easy to walk over in general. Hiking poles are recommended for unsteady walkers. \n  \nThis program is offered by the Groton Trails Committee as part of the Hidden Treasures Festival of Nature\, Culture & History\, an annual month-long celebration showcasing events and activities hosted by local partners celebrating the unique places\, objects\, and stories of the Freedom’s Way National Heritage Area. Hidden Treasures programs are free and open to the public. Click to discover more Hidden Treasures!
