Please join Friends of Cook Forest as we hike a loop starting at the entrance to Ridge Camp on Route 36. We’ll walk through portions of old growth forest and discuss characteristics and ways to recognize it. Length of the walk will depend on the weather and wishes of the attendees. People and pet-friendly leashed dogs are welcome.

Please bring your binoculars and meet at the Fire Tower Parking Lot for an historical interpretive tour of the Fire Tower and Seneca Point by DCNR Conservation Volunteer, Greg Burns. Learn about local logging history, observe Indian sign, and take a breathtaking view from the top of the Fire Tower.
