Visit the new Sassafras Trail at Maple Hill Farm. This trail is designed for preschoolers to experience really “being in the woods” without having to walk miles. The Sassafras Trail features sassafras trees, dogwood, sarsaparilla, wild grapes, wild raspberries and more. There are pumpkins to guide you along the way. We have seen deer, fisher, grouse and fox tracks nearby. See what you can find!
Take time to explore with your young children this winter.
Each class includes a story to stir up curiosity, a cool winter craft and an adventure outside in one of the special places at Beaver Brook.

NWF recommends that parents give their kids a “Green Hour” every day. This can take place in a garden, a backyard, the park down the street, or any place that provides safe and accessible green spaces where children can learn and play. Scientific research shows kids are happier and healthier when outdoor time is in better balance with indoor time.
