SUMMARY:Offsite Guided Hike: the Bat Caves of the Mine Hill Preserve
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a unique hiking experience where history meets nature! On this special guided hike of the Roxbury Land Trust’s Mine Hill Preserve\, we’ll visit 19th century relics of the area’s iron-mining history and then make our way to the old mines that are now important homes to hibernating bats. You can read more about the fascinating history of the Mine Hill Preserve here. Great Hollow wildlife biologist and hike leader\, Dr. Sarah Deckel\, will discuss the important role abandoned mines play for bats during winter and the conservation challenges facing our bat populations\, such as the devastating disease known as white-nose syndrome\, habitat loss\, light pollution\, and collisions with wind turbines. Note\, the mines are gated for safety and we will not be entering them. If you would like to join the hike\, please sign up by emailing Sarah at sdeckel@greathollow.org no later than Thursday\, October 31. This event is free for members and non-members. \nImportant Information: \nPlease meet us at the Mine Hill Preserve parking lot on Mine Hill Road\, approximately 0.4 miles west from Route 67 (helpful coordinates: 41.558847\, -73.337096)\, no later than 11 am. \nPlease print and complete a liability waiver and bring it with you to the hike or scan and email it to Sarah when you register. \nPlease come prepared for occasionally steep and uneven terrain. The trail system consists of loose gravel\, rocks\, and exposed roots that might be difficult to navigate. The round-trip distance of our hike will be approximately 2.5 miles\, with an elevation gain of 400 feet. No dogs or young children\, please. \n
