Nature is blooming all around and the critters of our Conservation Management Area are fully awake after a long winter's nap. So, gather up your family and hop on over to check out all the activity at this pre-Easter hike. While the birds are busy making their nests, wood frog tadpoles can be seen swimming about, spring peepers and forest frogs will be calling from the cattail marsh pond, and the woodpeckers will resume drumming at the trees that are starting to bloom. Come reconnect with nature and our woodland friends at this relaxing morning hike.

Guided Early Morning Hike – July 28

Great Swamp Watershed Association's CMA 1 Tiger Lily Ln, Morristown, NJ, United States

C'mon out for an exclusive, semi-private hike with GSWA’s own Adam Palmer to explore our Conservation Management Area (CMA). Many people have hiked our trails during the lockdown which have remained open for passive recreation. Perhaps you're one of them. But there's so much more to see, like all our recent restorations, as you tour the site with an insider. As we hike the trails of our 73-acre property, we'll share what is happening with wildlife during the summer months and talk about of the area's ecology. We'll also check out the marsh, upland beech forest and vernal wetlands. And let's face it, being outside is so important for our minds, bodies, and souls. This is our pilot "COVID-19 response hike" and we will carefully manage registration. For everyone's safety, we can only accommodate a max of 6 unrelated individuals or a total of 8 people comprised of family or couples (because they can group close together). We have created special physical distancing gathering points around the trails through our stewardship days, and we will enforce physical distancing and wearing masks throughout the hike. Detailed instructions of our COVID-19 protocol will be shared with you upon registration. Restricted group sizes […]
