This staff-guided hike will be of moderate difficulty. Participants must be dressed appropriately for the weather — keep in mind that it’s not called the “Cold Moon” for nothing! Have sturdy footgear, micro-spikes and a headlamp or flashlight. $5/person fee; register for this hike at https://www.merckforest.org/product/hikes-volunteer/. Merck Forest & Farmland Center is located at 3270 VT Route 315 in Rupert.
