About this Event
Join Matt Thatcher and PCF Steward Jeff Briggs for a snowshoe hike at Poestenkill Community Forest. Along the way, we’ll also cover some winter tree identification basics.

​

What to Expect

This outing will involve approximately three hours of snowshoe hiking and exploration over varied terrain, mostly on-trail. There will be some periods of stopping to look at trees and other points of interest.

​

What to Bring

Please bring a mask, water, and snacks. Make sure to dress in warm layers and wear sturdy, warm, weather-appropriate footwear. If there is not enough snow for snowshoeing, microspikes are recommended.
