Family Holiday Caroling & Hike - Saturday, December 18, 2-4pm at Pell Hill in Ward Pound Ridge Reservation
Lewisboro Land Trust invites you to join us one last time in 2021 for a special holiday program that will allow us to gather safely to celebrate the spirit of the holiday season together in nature. We will meet at the parking lot at the top of Pell Hill, go on a short hike--about one mile--that will end at the new group shelter where we will warm up by a bonfire and sing. There will be plenty of space for families to sing at safe distances from one another. Songs will be led by a classically-trained vocalist accompanied by a flutist, and song sheets will be provided. There will be two fires to gather around for warmth, along with hot cocoa and treats. Holiday sweaters (ugly or not) and other festive attire are optional, but encouraged.
This program is recommended for all ages. We strongly suggest wearing sturdy shoes good for muddy conditions and dressing in warm layers for. Dogs on leash are welcome. Steady rain or other inclement weather will cancel. REGISTRATION IS REQUIRED and entrance to the park will be FREE FOR THIS EVENT (with proof of registration at the gate). In the event of snow or ice accumulation on the roads, a backup location within the park will be announced. Steady rain or other inclement weather cancels.
The entrance to Ward Pound Ridge Reservation is located off Route 121 just south of Route 35. PLEASE PRINT YOUR TICKET FOR FREE ACCESS TO THE PARK, to be presented at the gate. Once you pass the entrance, drive straight on Reservation Rd. for about a half-mile, past Michigan Road, to the next stop sign where you will turn right (landmark: Trailside Nature Museum on the right). Continue all the way up the road on Pell Hill until you reach the parking lot at the top, where there is plenty of parking. Signs will be placed to help direct you, and maps are available online or at the gate upon arrival.
