If you’ve ever wondered about the ferns you see in the woods, come walk Putney Mountain Association’s new Hannum land on Saturday, July 30th at 10:00 a.m. After a short introduction to ferns, we’ll stroll from the Hannum kiosk to Salmon Brook and back (approximately 1.5 miles RT) and check out a sampling of woodland and wetland ferns, and maybe a few clubmosses, as we go.
This walk is not intended for fern aficionados (you can see a much wider variety of ferns at the Aiken Sanctuary off Old Route 5 in Putney), but is a gentle introduction for folks who’d like to get to know them. The kiosk is off Holland Hill Rd, on the right 3 tenths of a mile past Parkman Woods Rd. Look for a small trail sign and white pipes. Call 387-8595 if the weather looks iffy.
