Minimum 4 Maximum 15
Join Mary Smith and Carol Plummer and others in walking along trails in the Bangor area. Five different walks will be scheduled at various land trusts, many listed in the Bangor Area Trails Guide which will offer a variety of walks in the greater Bangor area on Thursdays at 1:30, beginning September 19th (one week before the other classes begin.) All walks will be mostly easy. Most will be less than two hours in length.
Wear good walking shoes, and dress for the weather.
Directions and suggestions for each walk will be emailed two days before the week's gathering. Once we have our class list, we'll inform class members in case you may wish to carpool.
First Walk:
September 19 - ESSEX WOODS
This popular spot for sledding in the winter is a great place to hike, birdwatch, bike, or run in other seasons. One this approximately 2-mile walk, a well-graded gravel and dirt path winds gently downhill through mixed forest and then flattens out to a trail that meanders along a productive wetland.
Directions will be provided to all registered class members.
Instructors: MARY SMITH and CAROL PLUMMER
Mary Smith and Carol Plummer are both retired and love walking/hiking, line dancing, gardening, and kayaking. During Covid, they set out to walk all 37 trails in the Bangor Area Trails Guide. They completed all but two! They’ll be sharing some of their favorite walks in this class—many on land trust properties.
