This article contains information from the Conservation Commission regarding the Barrington Trails Committee.
The Barrington Trails Committee will be hiking the Newhall Easement and introducing the concept of Shinrin-yoku, a Japanese term that means "taking in the forest atmosphere" or "forest bathing". Join them to explore some of the benefits of immersion into Barrington's natural beauty, during a moderate hike that includes rolling terrain.
The trail hike will be 1.5 miles long, lasting 1.5 to 2 hours on Saturday, September 14th from 9:30 a.m. to 11:30 a.m. The high points have lovely views of a marsh with beaver lodges, a creek, and ample forest land. Hiking boots and poles are recommended; however, no bathing suits are required.
Directions: The east entrance to the Newhall Conservation Area is at the intersection of Merry Hill Rd and Partridge Lane. Please park on the right side of Partridge Ln.
Google Maps: 2 Partridge Ln, Barrington NH 03825
