Family snowshoe nature walk
Join the Presumpscot Regional Land Trust and WinterKids for a free, family-friendly Snowshoe Nature Walk 10:30-11:30 a.m. Saturday, Feb. 9, on the Hawkes Preserve trail in Gorham.
The walk provides a fun introduction to snowshoeing and a great chance to see the forest and the Presumpscot River in the winter. “This is a great program to try snowshoeing with your family for the first time because WinterKids will be lending free snowshoes to anyone who doesn’t own a pair,” a land trust announcement said.
The plan is to split into two groups – one for families with kids and one for adults – so the program is appropriate for all ages. After the walk, participants can warm up with some hot cocoa.
Space is limited and registration is required. For more information or to register, visit www.prlt.org.
