Photo: Giant "Moon-sized" Snowball at Willowbrook Farm Preserve
Ever heard of a Full Snow Moon? Native American tribes referred to the February full moon as the Full Snow Moon since the heaviest snowfall usually accumulated that time of year. Join the Wildlands Trust staff and AmeriCorps volunteers for a guided Snow Moon Walk on Feb. 18th at 8pm. Guided by moonlight (+ headlamps, lanterns, and flashlights) we'll walk a 2 mile loop at the Willow Brook and Fleetwood Farm Preserves located in Pembroke, Ma.
Plan to meet at the preserve parking area just off Rt.14 at 7:45pm and we'll begin the walk at 8pm. Overflow parking will be available just down the street - we will direct you there and provide a quick shuttle service back to the main parking area and trail entrance. This event is a totally FREE and open to both members and non-members! Please rsvp to skugel@wildlandstrust.org. There is space for 25 participants and we hope that you will join us!
The following apparel/supplies will make your walk safe & enjoyable:
-Waterproof boots, gaitors and/or snowpants
-Multiple clothing layers (remember that nights are much cooler)
-Warm mittens/gloves and a hat
-Flashlight, lantern, or headlamp
-Water and a snack
Optional supplies: Snowshoes, hiking poles, camera, binoculars, a small fanny or day pack to carry your supplies.
