SUMMARY:Family Explorer: Winter Tracking in the Dunes at Crane Beach

SUMMARY:Family Explorer: Winter on the Lake at Moraine Farm
DESCRIPTION:Hike along the shores of beautiful Wenham Lake on a glacial moraine and learn how this ridge formed thousands of years ago\, as glaciers melted\, scattering about rocks and sand to form the landscape we see today. Learn also about the importance of Wenham Lake as a water source\, both today\, and in years past when ice from the lake was shipped to England for Queen Victoria! This hike will start with an interactive timeline game\, and then head out on the trails to observe how human and natural activities have shaped the landscape over time. \nThe Family Explorer hiking series will get you and your young explorers outside and moving at Trustees properties across the Northeast Region. These family-friendly hikes cover less ground to accommodate smaller strides and have more frequent stops to look\, listen\, and learn from our Outdoor Guides. Some hikes will start with a story\, hands-on demonstration\, or explorers’ challenge to spark curiosity before hitting the trail. \nSign up for one\, or get a discount if you sign up for three or more in the series. Contact Craneoutdoors@thetrustees.org for discount code.
