BETHLEHEM –  Are you looking to cure your cabin fever? Join the Ammonoosuc Conservation Trust’s (ACT) March ‘Shoes & Brews at the Bretton Woods Nordic Center!  Come for a jaunt in the woods and some social time on Saturday, March 14th from 12:30 to 4 pm. We’ll start at 12:30 pm with a stroll along a lovely riverside trail then head to The Grille at the Nordic Center for a beverage or two and snacks from about 2:30 to 4 pm.

For the ‘Shoes the group, led by ACT staff and volunteers, will walk along the Ammonoosuc River then head up to Middle and Upper Falls. The walk is about 3 miles total with approx. 250 feet of elevation gain. Depending on snow conditions snowshoes may be required, trekking poles are optional. An email will go out the day before the event with details and directions to the meeting location.
