ACT’s April ‘Shoes-n-Brews: Tree ID at Wedick Nature Reserve & Rek’-lis Brewing

BETHLEHEM  – The Ammonoosuc Conservation Trust (ACT) is having this month’s ‘Shoes & Brews on Saturday, April 14th from 1 – 4:30 p.m.! We’ll walk and learn some basics of tree identification at a beautiful and ecologically diverse conservation property in Bethlehem open especially to the public for this event.

The walk led by ACT volunteer Jessica Bunker and Trustee Marilyn Booth will start at 1 p.m. and last approximately 1 to 1.5 hours. The group will move at a slow to moderate pace through the Wedick Nature Reserve conserved with ACT in 2009. And take ample time to learn some tips and tricks of identifying our regions’ trees and shrubs.

The outdoor portion will wrap up around 2:30 p.m. with a 30 minute window for the group to make its way to the aprés-walk starting at 3 p.m. at Rek’-lis Brewing. Come enjoy a local brew with your local land trust at Rek’-lis’ brand new home on Main Street in Bethlehem. Catch up with old friends and meet new ones in your community over refreshments and a warm up! All are free to come and go as needed. You’re invited to stay for a sit down meal and enjoy the new space!

Registration for the hike portion of this event is required – for your safety and enjoyment we must cap the walk at 15 participants so please be sure to pre-register ASAP. Be aware registration closes on Friday, April 13th. Once registered, you will receive an e-mail with details on the meeting location.  Registration for Rek’-lis Brewing is appreciated so organizers can plan accordingly.
