Land Trust Days: THANKSGIVING EDITION

It’s the Friday after Thanksgiving and all of the food has been eaten – now, come hike it all off!

This property is part of the Westerly Land Trust’s Pawcatuck River Corridor Initiative. It consists of 148 acres of woodland, rocky ridges and freshwater wetlands adjacent to the Pawcatuck River and the Boy Scout Camp. It has interesting quarry remnants, river views and descent through a beautiful gorge. Some climbing in rocky areas may be involved as the best views are from the higher elevations!

This event is FREE and suitable for all ages. Leashed dogs welcome.
