Time: 10 AM–12 PM
Price: Free

Join us as we hike the Whittemore Sanctuary located at Flanders Nature Center. We will hike the 3.74 mile White trail loop that winds through a wide range of ecological habitats, including woodlands, streams, ponds and a large bog. The forest on the property is, historically, one of the oldest privately managed forests in Connecticut, containing planted white pine, regenerated oak and several large laurel and tulip tree stands. While on our hike we will be participating in Letterboxing and following along the clues to find the stamp books along the trail. Good shoes and trekking poles are nice to bring along during the hike! Transportation provided, please arrive at the museum at 9:30 am.
