Brandy Brow Forest on Haverhill’s north side is the setting for the May “Let’s Hike Haverhill” gathering.
The hike is free but registration is required. Registration opens Saturday, April 25, at 6 a.m., for the walk scheduled Saturday, May 23, and organizers say spaces are expected go quickly. Haverhill Public Works Director Robert E. Ward will serve as guide for the walk on the mostly flat trails. Stops include a five-foot tall beaver dam.
Hikers meet at 9:30 a.m., at the Myron Road Trailhead, 26 Myron Road, Haverhill, for the two-hour hike.
Last year, the city used money from its Drinking Water Supply Protection Program to purchase 41-acres to add to the larger 600-acre Brandy Brow Forest. The money was also used to set up the Myron Road Trailhead.
The hike is sponsored jointly by Team Haverhill and the Essex County Greenbelt Association. Greenbelt is managing the registration process online at ECGA.org.
