Description: Come join local trail experts from the Andover community for an easy social walk at the Wood Hill and Bald Hill Reservations. We’ll visit the “hills” which are glacial formations known as drumlins, smooth rounded hills composed of clay, sand, and gravel, pebbles, and of course boulders. We’ll also see the recent forest management work done on the property and plans for the future.
We will meet at the Oak & Iron Brewery @ 18 Red Spring Road Andover MA 01810 (978) 475-4077 @1:15 and car pool to the trail head.
We’ll hike a 2.5 loop with an elevation gain of 250 ft and be back at the Oak & Iron by 3:00-3:30 so we can stop to enjoy some tasty beverages and food at Andover's Hometown Brewery with a warm, taproom environment.
This is a February / Winter hike. Plan for snowy or icy conditions. Wear appropriate winter boots. Bring poles and micro spikes or other traction gear.  We will be hiking at an easy pace over roots and rocks with numerous ups and downs. In your daypack bring the required essentials: at least 2 liters of water and snacks, rain/wind jacket. Dress in moisture wicking layers.
Confirmed participants will be e-mailed directions and reminders prior to the hike. Any questions contact the leaders.
"We do understand that unforeseen circumstances beyond your control may arise, which may force you to cancel, if confirmed. Please consider your wanting to participate, vs your being able to participate and your commitment to that participation, before registering, and please don't be a No Show. If you do need to cancel, please do so through your AMC account/dashboard, so that your spot can be hopefully filled in a timely manner by the volunteer leader (even if waitlisted). If confirmed, please remember to mark your calendar for the date of the hike so you don't become a No Show."
