Join Lesley Farlow and Steve Winn for an exploration of the Amherst portion of the Norwottuck Rail Trail. We will explore the bike trail through diverse habitat for approximately 1 mile round trip, where we’ll have an opportunity to view late spring migrants to the area, as well as Belted Kingfishers, Green Herons, waterfowl, hawks, and other raptors. The trail is wide, paved, and fairly level, with frequent bicycle traffic. It's a good idea to wear sun protection and insect repellent. We’ll meet at the parking area on Station Road, which has ample parking, as well as a porta-potty. Seating areas if needed include picnic tables at the trailhead and a stone bench on the trail. Questions? Email Lesley at lesleyfarlow115@gmail.com. Limited to 15 participants. Register online. (E)
