With Laurie Sanders, Co-director, Historic Northampton

Co-director and naturalist Laurie Sanders will lead a walk to Burt’s Pit, one of the most ecologically, geologically and historically-significant properties within the City’s conservation holdings.

The property includes the city’s only extant bog, a network of trails, and a history of ownership that will dazzle. There aren’t many places in America where so many different strands of history come together; this is one of them.

This 1.5 mile walk will include off-trail explorations, so you must be able to walk over uneven surfaces.
