ALEXANDRIA — Join Newfound Lake Region Association Education and Outreach Manager Mirka Zapletal for a relaxed autumn hike of Goose Pond and Little Sugarloaf Mountain on Thursday, Nov. 3, at 10 a.m.

First heading to Goose Pond and then Little Sugarloaf, hikers will be on the lookout for plant communities and the animals that call them home, noticing how these species groups change with elevation, access to water, and other factors. The order of plant communities and how quickly they change through space can have impacts on habitats downstream, especially during rain events. Participants will get a sense of how supporting water quality in the lake involves protecting areas upstream as well.

Registration is required and space is limited. Register online at NewfoundLake.org/events or call 603-744-8689.
