15th annual walk, September 16, 2023

Our 15th annual walk will be held on September 16, 20203. This is a week later than usual.

The walk will cover the Fox Island Marsh and Pilgrim Springs Woodland Conservation Area. 

Much of the walk will be along the shore with views of the marsh, Fox Island, Blackfish Creek, Indian Neck, Field Point, and Old Wharf Point.

The walk, which is expected to take about two hours, starts at 9:00 am. Participants are asked to arrive by 8:45. There is limited parking, so we urge you to carpool. No pre-registration is required.

Directions to the start: Take Paine Hollow Rd off Route 6. After 0.3 miles, turn right onto Baker Road and follow it to the sand road. There will be people there to assist with parking.

Be sure to wear sturdy shoes, since the terrain is mostly dirt roads and pathways with some hills. It may be muddy in spots. Don’t forget sunscreen, insect repellent, hat, and water.

The rain date is September 17.

We’re looking forward to a lovely day and hope you’ll join us.
