!!! seems it only displays well the 2nd time? ugh.

Mt Archer RuinsBandA2Join us for this moderately easy walk in the woods. We will also do some light maintenance if it is needed. In April a group of volunteers cleared Japanese barberry, other invasives and debris from the ruins on the White Trail. We will visit the site. Parker Lord recently mowed it again. Bring heavy duty work gloves and light-weight clippers in case we see some invasive plants that need to be removed from  the walls and edges. Everyone is welcome.

This week’s hike will explore the White and Yellow Trail in Mt Archer Woods, led by Wendolyn Hill, Town of Lyme Open Space Coordinator and  Lyme Land Trust board member. The hike is a little more than 2 miles. Meet at the Mt Archer Woods Parking Lot.

Rain cancels.

Directions: Rt. 156 north to Mt. Archer Road. Left onto Mt Archer Road. Go one mile on Mt Archer Road (bear left up the big hill). The parking lot is down a long driveway on the left, the 4th long driveway after you start up the hill. Look for the stone post marker that has “Mt Archer Woods Town of Lyme” written on it. It faces the road, so you can’t read it until you are on top of it. (If you get to 100 Mt. Archer Road, you have gone too far).
