CALENDAR

Come help us clear the Highland Trail at Carter Hill.

We'll have line trimmers and plenty of hand tools for cutting back vegetation. Bring loppers and gloves if you have them.  Boots and long pants are recommended.

We'll meet at the Carter Hill parking lot, on Bradford St. across from Carter Field Rd.

Harold Parker State Forest, located half in North Andover and half in Andover, is a hidden gem, with a wide variety of trails accessible for hiking and biking. We will walk past beaver dams and ponds, traveling on a well-maintained forest trail, making our way first to the old soapstone quarry site and finally to the historic Jenkins Mill site.

A wonderfully diverse 2-hour walk. Children are very welcome. Dogs can come along, but they must be group friendly and leashed.

We'll meet at the parking area on Middleton Road at the "pavilion" between Jenkins and Harold Parker Roads. (Look for event signs. For GPS, use 614 Middleton Rd, North Andover. Note this is NOT the Berry Pond beach parking area.)

Come hike North Andover’s side of Ward Reservation with FONAT. The hike will last about 2 hours as we explore the trails at Ward, including Ward’s newest trail, John’s Trail. The meeting place will be the Brightview retirement community on 114.  (The trailhead is on the far end of the parking lot.)

The event is free and family friendly.  Heavy rain cancels.  This will be a snowshoe event if conditions allow.

Join Friends of North Andover Trails for an afternoon hike. We will begin at the Gallagher Field parking lot on Dale St, and start off through the Town Farm Forest, connecting to Greenbelt's Farnsworth Reservation.

Bring snowshoes if their is enough snow or Microspikes, Yaktrax, or similar traction devices if it is icy.

Our hikes are free, open to all and family friendly.  Dogs should be leashed.

This hike will last about two hours. Heavy rain or snow cancels, but will go in light snow.
