Mahoosuc Land Trust hosts June events

BETHEL — Mahoosuc Land Trust will host several June opportunities to get outside, meet new people and learn a skill or two.
* Saturday, June 1, 8 a.m. – Monthly bird walk at Valentine Farm with James Reddoch. The majority of the warblers and other summer visitors should be here. Join James for a casual walk as we try to identify the newcomers and perhaps spot some nesting behavior.
* Saturday, June 1, 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. – Rumford Whitecap work day. Meet at the trailhead and bring a lunch, water, hand tools and gloves. Attendees will work until 2 p.m. and then enjoy refreshments and recap the day.
* Saturday, June 15, 9 a.m. to noon. Rumford Whitecap hike. One of the hikes featured in the Second Nature Adventure Challenge and co-sponsored with Mahoosuc Pathways and Western Foothills Land Trust. A 5-mile round-trip hike that offers an open summit with incredible views in all directions. Dress in layers and hiking boots or rugged sneakers and bring water and snacks/lunch. You will have a hiking leader to guide your way.
* Saturday, June 22, 9 to 10:30 a.m. Tree Identification at Valentine Farm. Don’t know a balsam fir from a spruce tree? Do maples and oaks confuse you? If so, join Mike Richard, District Forester on a walk and learn some tips on identifying common tree species found in the area.
