Guided Walk - Urban Trees of Shelburne Falls, MA

Saturday, June 10th, Meet at the Arms Library in Shelburne Falls, at 9:00 AM. 

The Shelburne Open Space Committee, Deerfield River Watershed Association, Shelburne Falls Senior Center, and Arms Library have partnered to lead a scenic and educational, 2-loop walk around downtown Shelburne Falls. Our plan is to learn about the local, urban trees, their identification, importance, and management issues, including diseases.  

What to Bring: Hikers should wear comfortable walking sneakers, shoes, or boots and bring water to drink, a snack, sunscreen, hat, etc. Village Walking Tour maps will be provided.

What to Know: This walk is rated as “easy,” but with uneven sidewalks, street crossings, etc. The walk is broken into two loops. The first loop, a shorter & flatter loop, will cover the lower Shelburne Falls - Bridge Street Business District and some back streets, but will loop back to the Arms library for those walkers who do not want to walk a longer distance (maybe 1 hour). For those who want to carry on farther, a second loop will proceed up Bridge Street from the Arms Library and tour some of the back, more hilly streets before returning to the Arms Library (maybe add 45 minutes). Nothing too difficult is expected.

Where to Meet: Meet at the front steps of the Arms Library in Shelburne Falls at 9:00 AM on Saturday, June 10.
