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

Wednesday, September 16 at 9:30 a.m. Thomas and Palmer Brook Trails, Great Barrington

BNRC and OLLI hikers will return to the Thomas and Palmer Brook trail this fall to hike the familiar trails through the meadow, past the wetland, and up to Whale Rock. Participants will then hike the newly opened connector trail that now links the Thomas and Palmer Brook system to the Three Mile Hill trails. Join this hike to explore this new trail that provides for human hikers but also adds a new link to an important wildlife corridor connecting Beartown State Forest and Monument Mountain. The trail ranges from accessible to moderate in difficulty.

Directions to the trailhead and additional information about the hike are at https://www.bnrc.org/reserves/thomas-palmer-brook

OLLI at BCC and the BNRC are offering joint hikes this summer and fall. These hikes are free for OLLI at BCC and BNRC members. You must register in advance and space is limited.
