FAB Trails Festival

Join us outside all weekend for a series of guided and self-directed hikes. The Trails Festival will explore some of the facets that make this region a UNESCO biosphere. The first day is dedicated to learning more about the work of local land trusts while visiting some of the properties they steward. The second day will be mostly self-directed, as we visit some of the Biosphere's Amazing Places. On day three, we will join some local bird enthusiasts and later that morning we will head out to learn more about our local reptiles and amphibians.
