Please click the ticketing link to register for this event.This hike is part of our year-long series of preserve exploration hikes. The Falmouth Forest Garden is a demonstration of regenerative agroforestry techniques that have been utilized by various groups around the world for centuries or more. It is believed to be the first forest garden established on publicly accessible lands in Pennsylvania. It serves to enhance wildlife habitat as well as the experience for visitors of the popular Northwest River Trail.
What to Expect: This hike will start with an easy, quarter-mile hike on the paved Northwest River Trail. Once at the Falmouth Forest Garden we will follow grassy trails which meander through the 5-acre area before heading back to the parking area along the Northwest River Trail. There is a port-a-john available at the parking lot.
Where to Meet: We will meet at the Northwest River Trail trailhead in the south corner of the Falmouth Boat Launch parking lot.
What to Bring: Bring water, snacks, pertinent personal first aid, and appropriate clothing.
