DESCRIPTION

Celebrate outdoor engagement during Latino Conservation Week—July 17-25—with a bilingual (English and Spanish) guided hike led by FLLT staff and interpreted by Fernando de Aragón. We’ll set out from South Hill Cider and explore the neighboring Thayer Preserve which features a peaceful bedrock stream bed with small waterfalls and a mature forest with ample shade. After a one-mile hike, we’ll return to South Hill Cider for drinks and socializing. This event is open to all. Join us for the hike, happy hour, or both!
