My Next High Mountain Talks: Wayne, Wyckoff and Mahwah
I am concluding my High Mountain roadshow for The Nature Conservancy with four talks in the next few weeks, beginning on Wednesday at noon at the Wayne Public Library on Valley Road.
(On Wednesday, you can arrive at the library at noon for coffee, tea and cookies. The talk begins at 12:30 p.m., as previously listed.)
High Mountain Park Preserve is one of the great spots to hike and enjoy nature in North Jersey's backyard.
The preserve, located in nearby Passaic County, offers great views to the east as well as 11.5 miles of hiking trails — with a few birds to enjoy along the way.
The talks have been a lot of fun and a great learning experience, and I had have tweaked and fine-tuned my slide show over the course of my local speaking tour — it's not longer now, just better. (Like the sunrise from the summit photo above by Jason Whitaker of Wayne.) The talks are free and open to the public.
