Hike at Canoe Brook Nature Preserve

On Saturday, October 3rd at 10am, Green Mountain Conservancy is offering a 1-mile round trip hike at the Canoe Brook Nature Preserve, known for its massive ancient white oak trees, a remnant of the farmstead that was built on this property before the revolution. After a very well-attended trail opening last fall, Roger Haydock, local geologist, trail builder and GMC board member, will again lead the hike. Join us to learn about the ecology, geology and history of this serene preserve. While a bit steep in some spots, the trail is generally kid and elder-friendly and is 1/2 mile in and 1/2 mile out.  It will be about an hour long.

Directions: Canoe Brook Road, Dummerston, VT 05346. From Route 5 at the Putney Dummerston town line south of Putney, turn right on Canoe Brook Road. After 0.1 mile, turn left to stay on Canoe Brook Road. Continue straight for another 0.7 miles to reach the preserve. The parking area is 0.4 miles further on Canoe Brook Road, on the right.
