Walking in Hilltop
Hilltop Walks starts May 25th and runs every Saturday morning this summer until August 31. Islanders will be being given the opportunity to experience one of the most unique environments that still exists on the island. This informal guided tour will lead you through a part of this 31 acre Hilltop property.
Two characteristics of the property make it extremely valuable:
• It’s highly diverse, featuring: a 6-acre meadow standing tall as one of the highest locations on the island; two wetlands; a strong third-generation forest with a healthy understory resplendent with native plants; and the existence of several trees of significant value – including two old-growth Western Cedars.
• Many lightly traveled trails wind throughout the property, with only one being more defined. That one figures to become park property as soon as possible because it will serve as the all-important trail between the east and west Grand Forest park properties.
Meet at:
Mandus Olson Parking are, Entrance to East Grand Forest.
10am – 11am
No reservations are required and the tour is Free.
