UPCOMING LAND TRUST HIKES
On Sunday, June 26, the Canton Land Trust will sponsor a Lichen Hike led by Steve Messier, former Canton teacher. We will walk part of the Sweeton Trail as well as the Feibel Trail and Barbour Woods Trail. Please plan to meet at 9:30 a.m. at the lower parking area on Breezy Hill ( where Sweeton and Breezy Hill Farm Trails intersect). Rain will cancel this hike. Consider anti tick protection and please leave your dogs at home.
