(Fair Street Park Entrance)

We will do light hiking and explore the reforestation at this Park; how it once was a sprawling mecca of showgrounds, a pig farm and race tracks. Now, it is a source of plentiful forest and wildlife renewal! On this guided trek we will learn about what animals live here and how Park habitat accommodates them. There will be a light picnic under a pavilion which will include a poetry reading, reflections on the hike and storytelling for all ages to appreciate.

All are welcome!

Turtle Pond Trail Opens!

The Putnam County Land Trust will officially open its latest trail at the Laurel Ledges Natural Area on Saturday, May 16th at 1 pm. The trail skirts the northern edge of Turtle Pond (formerly Mendel Pond). Acquired through a NAWCA grant from Bill and Sheila Hamilton, the pond serves vital wildlife needs for resting, nesting and food sources.
