One of the largest freshwater wetlands in the state, you’ll learn all about the complex ecosystems that surround the boardwalk trail while looking for wildlife and discussing wetland ecology and conservation with the HVA team. Don’t miss this chance to explore one of the region’s most important habitats along the Appalachian Trail corridor!

Participants will meet at 9:30 a.m. on Saturday, July 11, at the Great Swamp Boardwalk on the Appalachian Trail. This 2.5-hour hike is about 3 miles and is appropriate for all ages. Registration is limited, so please reserve your spot today!
