TAKE A HIKE
at Joe's Woods
with the Sandwich Conservation Trust
by John
Nye Cullity
Hopefully by this Sunday the 18th,
the rain will have abated and we can meet at 2 PM to walk Joe’s Woods, off of Spring Hill
Road. We will meet at the Quaker Meetinghouse. Directions: from the
Route 6A and Quaker Meetinghouse Road intersection, go northerly over the
railroad crossing, and take the next left, Quaker Road. Look for the
meetinghouse on the right, and please go in the second entrance, a bit up the
hill.
This walk
is mostly level and easy, and will last an hour or slightly more. We will
follow Roos Road (Yes, I will explain that name) to 7 acre Joe’s Woods, an SCT
preserve donated in 1987 by Thomas Gelsthorpe. From there we will take a
large loop through a 30 acre town conservation property purchased by the town
in 2000 using Land Bank funds. This is a quiet area with a number of
re-forested old cranberry bogs.
There is
no charge for the walk. Be prepared for ticks, and no dogs, please.
The walk will not be held if it is raining.
