Chester Conservation Committee Leads Green Mountain Nature Trail Hike Saturday, May 14

Hikers and walkers are invited to join the Chester Conservation Committee on Saturday, May 14th at 9am for a guided hike on the Green Mountain Nature Trail in Chester. The hike will be led by Gary King and Ken Walker, longtime CCC members and part of the Green Mountain Nature Trail development team.

The Green Mountain Nature Trail is a 1.8 mile loop trail that traverses through the 160 acre forest adjacent to the Green Mountain Union HS. This trail offers a moderate hike that winds and climbs through beautiful evergreen and hardwood forests. The trail also features a large glacial boulder, stone walls, a wooden footbridge, rock culverts and views of the South Branch Williams River.

Interested hikers should meet in the parking lot behind Green Mountain Union HS (near the soccer field and running track) between 8:45 and 9:00am.

Please dress appropriately. Bring water and snacks.

This event is organized by the Chester Conservation Committee, fostering awareness, stewardship and enjoyment of Chester's natural resources since 2004.
