The Caledonia Conservancy Stewardship Committee is announcing a new GUIDED WALKS program for the community. Open to the public, these guided walks will showcase the various parcels of Caledonia Conservancy lands. These 60-90 minute walks will be led by a knowledgeable Conservancy guide who will share interesting information about the lands such as the:
history of the property and how it came to be part of the Caledonia Conservancy
various features of the property – creeks, ponds, old-growth woods, etc.
variety of plants, trees and creatures that call the property “home”
“I took a walk in the woods and came out taller than the trees.” ~ Henry David Thoreau
JOIN US IN THE TABOR WOODS
The first guided walk will take place at Tabor Woods (5131 Tabor Road) at 9:00 a.m. on Saturday, June 26, 2021.
Tabor Woods offers walking and horse trails which loop through old-growth / second-growth hardwoods and pines. The property is approximately 38 acres of woods, creeks and a meadow and is made up of three sections: Cameron-Erlandsson, McCalvy, and Gordon Tabor Woods.
Barb Hugier will be your guide as you walk through the Cameron-Erlandsson section, over a creek and past stands of beautiful beech trees. Next you’ll explore the McCalvy section and its huge, 100+ year old oaks. Lastly, you’ll visit Gordon section of Tabor Woods and discover remnants of an old-growth Christmas tree farm. All along the way, Barb will share interesting facts about the lands and the plants and animals that reside within them.
And kids - don’t forget to be on the lookout for Mr. T and the Fairy Door; both are contests that you can enter to win a Culver’s gift certificate.
