This 1-mile trail meanders along the Housatonic River and through a charming upland forest. We’ll learn key characteristics of common trees in western Massachusetts and get tips to help identify them. The walk will last approximately 1.5 hours.

We’ll meet at the trailhead of Lower Bowker’s Woods, a Laurel Hill Association property located near Stockbridge, MA. The trail is typically considered an easy route, but it has uneven terrain in some areas with many roots; it also intersects railroad tracks.
