Unpack a story hundreds of years old as told by the trees along Buck Hill trail for National Trails Day.
The forest has changed over time through human activity and natural forces; how has the forest changed, and will it ever be the same again?
Find out what the woods have to say on this 2-mile hike around Buck Hill. Buck Hill trail was largely built by volunteers, so to honor them and their hard work on National Trails Day we are spotlighting the trail and the woods it leads through.
