SOUTH HADLEY—Free public Treks sponsored by the South Hadley Bike/Walk Committee (BWC) are back! On Sunday, November 14, 2021 at 1:00pm, the public is invited to the Mount Holyoke College campus for a guided Trek with Dr. Olivia Aguilar of the MHC Miller Worley Center for the Environment. Trek participants will walk the Upper Lake Loop and Boardwalk, which includes the Campus Living Laboratory area. The Upper Lake Loop trail is just over a mile long and consists of leaf-lined and dirt paths with only a few minor ascents and descents. The Project Stream Boardwalk, which connects to the Upper Lake trail, is ADA-accessible and meanders through forested wetlands alongside the stream.
