Nature Walk At Hubbard Brook Preserve in the Maromas

With COVID rates manageable and many getting vaccinated, we will continue our nature walks.

We require all participants wear masks at all times. We are also asking you to sign up ahead of time with me by responding to this email. The group size will be limited; if more people sign up than space, names will be pulled from a hat, based on those who have RSVPed by the end of Tuesday April 6th.

In the last two weeks if you have done any of the following, please do not join us:

• Been in contact with anyone who has tested positive for COVID
• Had any of the known symptoms of COVID or felt unwell
• Been out of state/country

We welcome those who are willing to meet these guidelines. The details of the hike are as follows:

On Sunday, April 11, 2021 at 10AM, I will be offering an early Earth Day hike at Hubbard Brook Preserve in the Maromas part of town through Middletown's Recreation Division. We will explore this 75-acre park protected by an easement from CL+P to CT Forest and Park Association. The Preserve offers protected habitat for plants and wildlife, with scenic vistas of the Connecticut River. The trip should last until approximately 11:30AM.
Wear hiking shoes, bring a snack and water, camera, binoculars if desired. Children under age 16 must attend with an adult 18+. Leashed dogs allowed.
