Strap on your snowshoes and come along with
Bill Reid, TLGV Director of Outreach Programs & Chief Ranger,
and Cathy St. Andre, U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Park Ranger, for
an invigorating full moon hike at the West Thompson Lake
site. From the parking area adjacent to the white garage
buildings, we will hike a woods trail about one mile to the west
shelter pavilion where we will enjoy views of the rising Snow Moon
and learn more about the West Thompson Lake site. We'll get
warm sipping cocoa around a bonfire before hiking back along the
shoreline road to the parking area. Total hike is
approximately two miles. Participants are responsible for
their own showshoes. If there is not enough snow for
snowshoeing, we will hike anyway. For additional information,
directions, and to sign-up for the hike, please contact Bill Reid

noon
Town Line Tree Farm, 96 Weeks Road, Eastford,
CT.
There is no charge for this program.
March in The Last Green Valley means maple
sugar season is finally here and spring is coming soon. Five
year ago, our very first TLGV members program was with Steven and
Karen Broderick at Town Line Farm and we are delighted they have
invited us back again. The program begins in the sugar bush
that Steve has spent years carefully nurturing and
developing. Here he will explain the biology of maple sugar
trees and how to tap them for optimal production. We will
walk to the sugar house to learn how the sap is boiled down to make
syrup. The program is followed by a sampling of fresh, warm
syrup on ice cream. Please contact Bill Reid for additional
information and to sign up for the program: 860-774-3300 or Bill@tlgv.org.
