The Exploring our Trails series, led by representatives of the Francestown Conservation Commission and the Francestown Land Trust, continues on Saturday, October 12th, with a hike on trails through two contiguous protected forests: Rand Brook Forest and the Driscoll Hill Town Forest. We will enjoy a combination of walking on woodland roads and hiking on forest trails with waypoints including the meadow overlooking the Lyndeborough range and the bridge abutment on Rand Brook in the Rand Brook Forest as well as the Draper Farm cellar holes on Driscoll Hill in the Driscoll Hill Town Forest. The footing on this hike is easy to moderate with some rocky and uneven terrain and some hills. Come expecting to be wowed by this protected land with public access that is right here in Town! The hike will leave at 9:30AM and we’ll plan to return soon after 12:00PM.
For more information, contact Hannah Proctor, land line 603-547-2816, or via email at hqproctor@gmail.com.
We’ve been really pleased with the level of interest and participation in these hikes. If there is a particular trail you’d like to explore with us, let us know.
Hikes will be publicized in The Francestown News and on the FLT website at francestownlandtrust.org/events.
