Hike Our Trails: Pond Trail at The Wilderness Center

Hike. Restore. Repeat.Spring is here, and that means it’s time for our Annual Hike Our Trails volunteer series! The Wilderness Center headquarters in Wilmot has miles of beautiful trails to explore, but did you know we have others too? From the newly opened Doughty Gorge to the rugged Zoar Woods, there’s always something to discover! So grab your hiking boots, get outside, and let’s explore them together with our Land Steward, Zac!Each Friday, we’ll hike a trail, remove invasive species, do trail maintenance, and even build part of a trail at an unopened preserve! You’ll also get to learn about TWC, the incredible diversity of our preserves, different plants and animals, and why we remove invasive species. No experience is needed, and it’s appropriate for adults and teenagers—we provide all the tools!Can’t make it on Fridays? Prefer solo adventures? No problem! Participate on your own time—just hike the trail of the week, pull garlic mustard, clip overhanging bramble, pick up trash, or just enjoy nature. Share your efforts by tagging TWC on social media or emailing your pictures to us!
