Fall Foliage Hike in the Berkshires with ECCN

Join the Early Conservation Career Network for a casual hike among the beautiful fall colors that bring thousands of tourists to the Berkshires every year. We'll start by meeting in downtown Lee and eating lunch (sandwiches or salads from Loeb's Foodtown) at the nearby park. Then, we'll head to Basin Pond Reserve, owned by Berkshire Natural Resources Council, for a hike around its 2.5-mile loop trail through boulder fields and under beautiful mixed forest canopy. A viewing platform offers a scenic vista of the pond, beaver lodges and dams, and a historic (human-made) dam. This hike is moderate difficulty and appropriate hiking footwear, fall attire, bug spray, sunscreen, and water are recommended. This event will be canceled with roughly 24 hours notice in case of heavy rain or thunderstorms.

Registration is required. Lunch is covered by ECCN, if you would like lunch from Loeb's Foodtown, please include your lunch selection in the registration form along with your details. View menu here. Please share any food allergies, dietary restrictions, or other requested accommodations with the event organizer, Johnny Robinson (jrobinson@bnrc.org).
