The Exploring our Trails series, led by representatives of the Francestown Conservation Commission and the Francestown Land Trust, will have its last 2024 hike on Saturday, December 7th, with a hike through the Schott Brennan Falls Reserve.
We will enjoy walking the Bullard Hill Class VI Road to the Schott Brennan Falls Reserve trailhead and kiosk. A forest road will take us past the old Mill Pond meadow before transitioning into a forest trail ending at the 20-foot high Brennan Falls. The footing on this hike is easy to moderate with some rocky and uneven terrain and some hills. Come expecting to learn some of the history of the Oak Hill area and this conserved forest.
The hike will leave at 10:00AM and we’ll plan to return soon after 12:00PM.
Plan for tick protection if we are snowless or if snow is patchy and bring water and a snack for yourself.
For more information, contact Hannah Proctor, land line 603-547-2816, or via email at hqproctor@gmail.com.
