A Picture Perfect Weekend!

On October 11 approximately 20 people participated in the grand opening of Prospects newest hiking trail located at the end of Rosemary Road (off Summit Rd.). Tina Barry created the trail as a Girl Scout Gold Award project. Tina explained her project than lead the group through a wonderful loop trail. Tina highlighted points of interest along the way. The trail has stepping stone paths, sitting areas (benches) and is ideal for beginners of all ages.

On October 12, twenty-five people gathered for the Fifteenth Annual Prospect Land Trust Fall Hike. The hike was lead by Arborist John Dyckman who is also the Land Trust President. As promised it was an enjoyable event for all. With John at the lead the group hiked through Water Company Land (permit required) as well as Land Trust Property. The trail ran through relatively easy terrain (with one uphill section) bringing us to a small pond as well as through beautiful mixed forests. The fall foliage was glorious as the group “journeyed” along natural areas not usually available to the public.
