Weather permitting, we will snowshoe around the trail! Hiking is our backup plan in the event that there isn't snow or too little to snowshoe. After snowshoeing or hiking, we will gather for some hot drinks to warm back up! We encourage participants to bring their own snowshoes if possible, but we do have pairs to offer. We welcome members of the LGBTQIA+ community and allies of all ages! Participants under 18 should be accompanied by an adult. No dogs this time, please.

Trail info: We will cover about 1.2 miles of trail, including NBNC's Universally Accessible trail (0.3 miles). The trails are mostly wide and flat. For more information and to view the trail network, visit NBNC's wonderfully detailed trail map page: https://northbranchnaturecenter.org/trailmap/

Trail surface: Compacted crushed stone as well as compacted dirt. However, trail surface varies in the winter and when wet. If trails are icy we recommend using traction like microspikes. 

Accessibility: Participants using wheelchairs, mobility equipment, or strollers may need all-terrain tires or adaptive/motorized equipment for the surface type and grade after the 0.3 miles of Universally Accessible trail.

Hosts: 

• Sarah Hooghuis (they/them), Auduon Vermont
