Join Faith Salter, Executive Director, for an easy paced walk at Longview Conservation Area. Wear appropriate footwear, bring water and wear warm layers.
After visiting Longview to check out the conditions, for our comfort and safety, the location has been changed from Longview Conservation Area to:
E. Keyes Conservation Area
147 Princeton Rad
Gardner, MA 01440
Why make this change? E Keyes has a plowed parking area, and most trails are compacted for easier walking. We will have a beautiful view out towards Mt Wachusett as the sun sets. At Longview the snow is pretty deep, and the parking area is tight with snowbanks.
Conditions at Keyes
Trail conditions mostly packed snow with a chance of ice following tomorrow’s storm. There are some (optional) parts of this walk that will require walking in ankle deep snow – nothing my snow boots couldn’t handle. If you like to have poles or traction in these conditions, bring them. Wear layers. We will walk back to the parking lot at dusk.
During our leisurely paced walk we will search out a frozen vernal pool, duck into a small hemlock grove, and end on top of gently rolling hills to watch the sunset.
