Sunapee-Ragged-Kearsarge Greenway Coalition hikes are free to the public. Please call the volunteer hike leader to learn starting location and time. Be prepared for autumn’s sunny, cool, bug-free conditions. Remember to bring water, snack, and footwear.

Oct 15 (Wed): Great Brook Trail, New London. Help us “pave and raise” the trail where it is now an often muddy crossing. Some clean up on Morgan Hill Trail is also a possibility as New London Conservation Commission and SRKGC collaborate. A few easy deep woods miles.

Hikers should help the trails they hike. Duh, of course? or: Oh, what an interesting idea? Either way, call a leader and say Yes.
