(Cancelled)Wednesday Walk at Iron Mine Preserve in Ashford
August 30, 2023 @ 8:00 am - 9:30 am
CANCELLED DUE TO RAIN!!
Join us at Iron Mine Valley Preserve in Ashford, CT.
This beautiful trail begins at a pollinator garden then quickly descends into an oak-rich forest and eventually down into a shaded hemlock grove adjacent to the Mt Hope River. Depending on trail conditions we may be able to get to the river. As this is sensitive habitat, we may need to bypass the wetland area and just follow the yellow loop back up to the trailhead. Click HERE for directions and more information about the property.
*We will be starting from the west entrance on Sand Hill Rd. To Access the the West Side Trail from Sand Hill Road: Go north 2.8 miles from the intersection of Route 89 and Route 44 in Ashford. Turn right onto Sand Hill Road. Continue on gravel section a short distance. Look for the Trust sign on the left.
The walk begins promptly at 8:00 a.m. and will be cancelled in the event of rain. Bring water, bug spray or net, and appropriate hiking gear as needed.
I will post on Instagram and Facebook as well as this page if we decide to cancel the walk due to weather or other, unforeseeable circumstances.
If you have any questions or concerns, please call me, Michelle Poudrette, the Development and Communications Manager, at (860) 429-9023, or email me at michelle.poudrette@joshuastrust.org. Registration is not required.
We look forward to seeing you in Ashford.
