Margaret's Meander in Sheldrick Forest

This month we're going to try a little bit of a challenge: Margaret's Meander at Sheldrick Forest. It's not very difficult, but there are a few steepish bits. We'll take as much time as we need to get everyone up and down.

The path follows the top of a glacier moraine, the debris left when the ice melts. It's a strange, convoluted area, but very fascinating to visit.

Directions from the Library: Head south on Rte. 31, then west (right) on 101. Watch for hiking signs! Just past Sherman's PitStop, turn left onto Temple Rd. Bear left to stay on Temple Rd, then left to cross the bridge onto Town Farm Rd (dirt). The entrance to Sheldrick Forest will be on your left. This should take you about 15 minutes; the hike will start at 9:30 

Please note, dogs are not allowed in the Forest. To let me know you're coming, or if you have questions, please click here to email Nikki Andrews.
