Following a whole tree harvest in 1998, Jeff has owned and worked on rehabilitating this 270 acre parcel. It comprises a majority of the second largest watershed that feeds Lake Warren. The terrain stretches from hilltop to wetland and includes an active beaver pond, numerous wetlands, glacial features, stone walls, views of Lake Warren/Green Mountains and an emergent forest. This walk will afford participants an opportunity to enjoy the many facets of a New England forest.

This is a 2-3 mile hike that is moderate to strenuous. There are elevation gains. Hiking shoes are suggested. Park and meet at 77 Peachblow Road in East Alstead. Insect repellent is a good idea. Water is optional.

Jeff Schadler has worked as a land manager, carpenter, and landscaper. He and his wife Koo have owned property and resided in Alstead for 26 years.
