About This Event
Join Lacawac Sanctuary and nature enthusiast Dave Cummins for an early-spring guided hike along the Ledges Trail! As the snow begins to melt, we’ll explore the Sanctuary’s vernal pools—temporary forest wetlands that come alive this time of year with emerging plant growth and the earliest stirrings of amphibians. This 90–120 minute, intermediate-level hike offers beautiful views, seasonal discoveries, and a chance to learn about the unique ecology of these fleeting spring habitats.
While many of our programs and hikes are offered free of charge, Lacawac Sanctuary is a nonprofit organization that relies on donations to make this programming possible. If you are able, please consider adding even a small donation when you register to help support our environmental education efforts.
Meet at the Lacawac Sanctuary Environmental Center by Heron Pond at 10am on Saturday, March 21, 2026 to start our early spring hike!
