This hike will be lead by noted naturalist Dr. Michael Kudish.  Although not difficult in terms of miles, Mike will give much talk about flora, fauna and the history of the land and its use.   We will also check out some shrub thickets near steep outcrops that may or may not be first growth. Expect a bit of science!
