A happy birthday Wareham Land Trust hike

To honor 25 years of environmental work around town, the Wareham Land Trust is celebrating right where the land trust got its footing.

The trust is holding an anniversary hike Saturday, March 14 at the Douglas S. Westgate and Fearing Hill Conservation Area from 10 a.m. to noon. 

Led by Wareham Land Trust board member Kathy Pappalardo, this guided 2.1 mile hike will explore the trails of Douglas S. Westgate and Fearing Hill while reflecting on the history of the property and the Land Trust’s early conservation efforts.

Participants can expect scenic woodland paths, views of the Weweantic River and gentle terrain. There is one steep hill along the route, so feel free to bring a walking stick and wear proper footwear.

This hike is free and open to all and welcomes both longtime supporters and those new to the Wareham Land Trust. Guests can join the trust for coffee and hot chocolate following the hike.

Those attending can park at the Douglas S. Westgate Parking Lot,  29 Papermill Road in West Wareham. Visit warehamlandtrust.org to register.
