Signs of Spring Walk at Bald Hill Trails ~ a Rockingham Gathers program!
On Saturday, March 28 from 11am-12pm, the Rockingham Free Public Library will host a Signs of Spring walk on the Bald Hill Trails in Westminster, VT. This walk will be led by Hannah Dallas, the Vermont Department of Forests, Parks & Recreation’s Southern Windsor County Forester.
As April is nearing, it’s time to look for signs of spring! This all-weather outing is perfect for walkers who will enjoy learning about the forested landscape, looking for birds, and exploring the Bald Hill Trails with good company. Refreshments included!
Walkers should meet at 10:45am at the Cemetery Road entrance to Bald Hill Trails (off of Route 5 by Bellows Falls High School). We will leave for the walk at 11:00am.
This walk will take place regardless of weather. If there’s snow, bring your own snowshoes, poles, and crampons or borrow them from the Rockingham Free Public Library (please plan to borrow in advance because they will not be available at the trail). Walkers are also encouraged to bring binoculars (several pairs are available to borrow from the Rockingham Free Public Library as well).
This event is free and open to the public. No sign up required!
This walk is part of Rockingham Free Public Library’s Rockingham Gathers program, made possible by a 2025 AARP Vermont Winter Placemaking Grant. Rockingham Gathers is a series of programs and activities the Rockingham Library is organizing during Winter 2025 to support “creative, inclusive programming that fosters community connection and combats social isolation among older adults during the coldest months of the year.” RFPL is one of eight organizations from across Vermont to receive this grant.
