IT'S MARCH. YOU GOT SPRING FEVER?

IT'S MARCH. YOU GOT SPRING FEVER?

Are YOU a Member of the Parks Foundation?
Well you're in luck! Join us for our member-only five mile interpretive hike to Sugar Loaf Peak. If five miles is a little too far, don't worry. We're having a more relaxed member-only hike in May at the Wilbur May Arboretum followed by a picnic with the TMPF Team!  
Also, if it's a super bloom year, we'll do a special wildflower walk in April.
