Upcoming Community Events:
September 16
Senior Walk at the end of Melendy Hill Road
This walk will require carpooling. We will meet at Christ Church on Tuesday, September 16th at 10:15. Christ Church is a short distance south of the Guilford Country Store at Melendy Hill Road and Route 5.
We will amble along Class 4 Roads and observe the precious things Guilford woods have to offer as we anticipate the change of season; a small cliffy ravine, ubiquitous rock walls that evoke past farms and historic Route 5. A delightful sunny clearing and patches of Royal Ferns will punctuate the scenery. Perhaps we’ll spot a wood frog, identify trees and bird calls. Every walk has welcome surprises.
This walk will be 1 mile out and back on mostly level, smooth terrain with a short, mild uphill.
October 14
Senior walk: “Beyond the Fairgrounds,
163 Fairground Road
