A winter walk through Rensselaer Land Trust’s compact, but diverse jewel will take us along the sparking Black Brook, across a field of glacial erratics, and passing by evidence of long-gone people’s efforts to wrest a living from this rocky land. We will snowshoe or hike as conditions suggest; participants may need traction devices such as cleats/microspikes if it is icy. The walk will cover about two miles and involve up and down some steep slopes, negotiating rocky and uneven terrain, and likely some icy, wet, or muddy spots. Best dress with layers that can be taken off or added as needed, and bring hiking sticks if you use them.
We will meet at 9:45am at the Ingalls Preserve parking area on Garfield Road, just west of the intersection with Horse Heaven Road. (The closest address is #546 Garfield Road.)
