OLLI at BCC and BNRC Joint Hike - Mt. Hunger at Konkapot Ridge and Steadman Pond, Monterey

OLLI at BCC and Berkshire Natural Resources Council (BNRC) Joint Hike

Wednesday, June 24 at 9:30 a.m. Mt. Hunger at Konkapot Ridge and Steadman Pond, Monterey

This BNRC reserve honors John Konkapot, one of the two Mohican sachems who negotiated the treaty that founded Indian Town/Stockbridge in 1735.  The trail is part of the Berkshire Wildlife Linkage which provides undeveloped corridors for wildlife to move from the Hudson River highlands to the Green Mountains in Vermont.  The hike will begin on the ridge, also called Monterey cobble, ending in a young succession forest with views of the Tyringham valley and cobble.  After the ridge trail, the hike will continue at Steadman Pond, a favorite place for bass fishing and a dip in the summer.
