Registration is open for the March “Let’s Hike Haverhill” walk.
The guided hike takes place along the course of the Clement Farm Disc Golf Course, 1314 Main St., Haverhill. The 1.5-mile trail transverses the golf course with views of the Little River. Robert E. Moore Jr., Haverhill’s environment health technician, leads the hike and shares details about site improvements planned for the 53-acre recreation area this summer.
Course founder Andrew Fonseca will be on hand to explain how his dream of creating this course became a reality.
The hike takes place Sunday, March 22, from 10 a.m. to noon
The series of one walk per month is sponsored by Team Haverhill in partnership with Essex County Greenbelt Association and the Haverhill Conservation Department. Hikes are free but registration is required. Those interested may register on the Greenbelt website, ECGA.org. Organizers note space is limited. Those with questions can email Christine Kwitchoff at [email protected].
