People without cars can catch rides with the walkers with cars. The hike is free and all are welcome! No reservations needed, and you are welcome to bring your friends!

 

The event is free and open to the public!


Note: Due to the increase in global warming, the winter ski, snow shoe, and skating events of Save the Pine Bush will be listed in reverse of the way they have been announced for the last several years. We cannot respond to the advance of global warming the way that more Ski Resorts in the North East are doing with making more and more artificial snow. Our winter outing events will, now, all be announced simply as a “Hike” with the after thought of skiing or skating or snowshoeing weather permitting.

 


For hikes in spring, summer & fall:

Take the usual precautions against UV radiation and lyme disease: UV sunglasses, sunscreen, wide brimmed hat, light-colored clothing, long-pants and long sleeves. Show up in the latest environmental style.

For bike rides:

We will travel on the streets together, and follow all traffic laws. Please wear a helmet. Please note, all CDTA buses are equipped with bike racks, in case you want to use a bus for part of your trip to and from the beginning and end of the bike ride.
