and we will maintain a comfortable pace.

Water bottle 
Hat
Sunscreen
Wear layers and dress for the weather

*Hikes will be canceled if the weather is bad or very hot.


Hike Dates & Locations:

August 13: In the moist and leafy woods behind Floral Street School there is a nature trail. Built years ago when the school was new, it has nurtured a love of the outdoors in numerous elementary school students and is equally enticing for all ages. On Wednesday, August 13 at 9 am, we will gather at the trailhead behind the building. As always, don’t forget to wear sturdy footwear and insect repellent. 

August 27: Back by popular demand! Please join us for a repeat hike in Camp Wunnegan on Wednesday, August 27 at 9 am for a circuit of the park. We will gather at the new parking lot off Route 140. Don’t forget to wear sturdy footwear and insect repellent. We anticipate taking about one hour and we are avoiding steep climbs.


A note from Melanie:
I have been a Shrewsbury resident for 46 years and have a long-standing interest in the town. I was a Town Meeting member for 26 years, and I am a founding member of the Shrewsbury Trails Committee (since 2012). I currently serve on the Community Preservation Committee. I have found that many people are completely unaware of the delightful spaces at our doorsteps and want to introduce more people to them. I am committed to the enjoyment of nature and the benefits of walking in the fresh air and want to see our outdoor recreational spaces protected, improved, and extended.
