Conservation Hike on Fall Mountain on Saturday Morning!
The final walk in the fall series sponsored by the Town Conservation Commission is THIS Saturday morning, October 11, to Table Rock, just below the summit of Fall Mountain above North Walpole. The area is near the part of Fall Mountain obtained by The Nature Conservancy (TNC) to protect the area and its incredible view of the Connecticut River, North Walpole, and Bellows Falls.
According to organizer Mel Schupack, "The path is steep in places and we'll have to rest a few times to catch our breath. It's probably not a good walk for folks who might tend to get short of breath going up hill."

The rain date is Saturday, October 18 at the same time.
Walkers will meet on the Walpole Town Common by 8:45AM to car pool to the walk. They should be back to the Common by 11:30 a.m.
Mel adds, "Bring your camera as the view up there is amazing, especially at this time of year. The purpose of the walks is to have fun but also to get to know some special places in Walpole and see some protected areas. Eric Aldrich of the Conservancy will talk about that. As usual, we will have refreshments after the walk. The weather forecast looks promising. It's up hill, but we can rest along the way and there is a dirt road going up."
