The parties are over and the resolutions begin! Start the New Year off right by getting outdoors with nature and friends old and new. Join Kestrel for our annual New Year’s Day hike in Northampton on Tuesday, January 1 at 1 pm until 3 pm. (Is Northampton too far from home? Join us for our other hike in Belchertown instead.)

Come along with naturalist and educator John Body on a winding trek through the Fitzgerald Lake Conservation Area’s woodlands and wetlands. The land around Fitzgerald Lake is permanently conserved by the City of Northampton and stewarded by the Broad Brook Coalition. There are a few small hills to climb on this walk.

This is a great opportunity to meet and chat with new people, and learn a little about the land you love at the same time.

Registration is required, but the walks are free of charge. (Severe weather will cancel.)

Happy New Year!
