October 5 Hike in the North End Forest

It was a beautiful day in the forest and the NE Trails are stunning right now. Great fall colors and the trails are dry and easily hikeable.
All the MIWP trails are in terrific condition, well marked, mowed, cleared and the fall colors are blooming.

Read MoreEarly Summer Foraging for Mushrooms. A Rainy But Informative Hike!

Our first Forest Classroom activity of the season was well-attended! We hiked with Samantha Dobson on (and off) the Capser Trail in search of Oyster mushrooms. Because mushrooms are 85-90% water, rain is great for mushroom hunting, although right after the rain when the sun comes back out is the best time. You always learn something new when you hunt mushrooms with Samantha! The next mushroom walk is September 10th. Mark your calendars now!
