Trails are mostly flat\,\nwide\, gravel paths (i.e.\, easy walking!) through woods/overgrown\nfarm fields\, open grass fields\, and small pond habitat. Loop is about\ntwo miles and will probably last around 2 hours. May be a little muddy\nif recent rain\, but usually not too bad. We will also be able to tour the\nrecently established pollinator garden\, funded by a 2023 HAS grant. \nThere are no restroom facilities at the preserve\, so please plan\naccordingly. Afterwards those interested can join us at the Flour Girl\nCafe (12 Main St\, Hebron) for coffee and swapping bird stories. \nGabrielle & Will Bugden gvonp27@gmail.com / 860-490-5112 T
