2 Experienced Naturalists, Alison Dixon, Senior Planner for Environment & Energy Program of the Berkshire Regional Planning Commission, and Mitch McCue, Q-MoB resident naturalist, will lead us on a relatively easy hike from Campbell Falls State Park in CT to the spectacular falls nearby in Massachusetts. You will see many streams, cliffs, forest, and of course one of the most spectacular falls in the region. We will also learn about the effects of climate change on those eco-systems and how they are adapting.
This hike is part of a series of easy hikes and bike rides & a Pride Paddle planned by Q-MoB and the Berkshire Regional Planning Commission that will explore some beautiful but climate-change affected eco-systems in the Berkshires, and help us appreciate the many factors that are providing resiliency to these waterfalls and water ways, and the factors that are threatening them.
ABOUT THIS SERIES OF ECO-HIKES, ECO-BIKE RIDES, & PRIDE PADDLE:
This hike is part of a series of easy hikes, bike rides, and a canoe paddle designed to provide an opportunity for participants to learn about and participate in community conversations about climate change while enjoying a variety of eco-systems. This series is a part of the larger Western Massachusetts Regional Unpaved Roads project funded by the Executive Office of Energy and Environmental Affairs (EEA) Municipal Vulnerability Program (MVP).
These competitive MVP grants support communities in identifying climate hazards, developing strategies to improve resilience, and implementing priority actions to adapt to climate change. The MVP program funds community-driven climate resilience planning and action. Nearly 100% of the Commonwealth’s municipalities participate in the program and over $180 million has been awarded for local climate resilience planning and projects since its inception.

Alin爱旅游

Explore the southern hemisphere&#39;s &quot;Mount Fuji&quot; - the new Plymouth of Egmont, a city on the west coast of New Zealand&#39;s North Island, not only the capital of Tananachi Province, but also the only seaport city on the west coast. It is a sister city with China&#39;s Kunming City and Japan&#39;s Mishima City, sharing the bonds of culture and friendship. Attractions feature Mt. Egmont, known as New Zealand&#39;s most perfect volcano, boasts a height of 2518 meters. Surrounded by a vast plain, it feels as if you are in the visual shock of Mount Fuji from any angle. Mount Egmont is 120,000 years old and the most recent eruption was in 1775. Volcanologists believe it is currently in a &quot;dormant&quot; state, not death, which makes it full of mystery and anticipation. The legend of the historical and cultural Egmont Mountain is equally fascinating. It is rumored that Mount Taranaki was part of the Tongariro volcano group, but was discovered by Tongariro during a tryst with Tongariro&#39;s lover, the Pihanga volcano on Lake Taupo. The Taranaki mountain fled south in shame, leaving the scar of the Wanganui River. Since then, it has guarded the land alone, as if hiding its sadness in a tear cloud. 🕒 The scenic spot is open all year round. Even in summer, tourists can enjoy the snow on the top of the mountain and experience the transformation of the four seasons. 🚶&zwj;♂️ Routine recommendation recommends climbing from Mangorei Track Trailhead along Pouakai Track and Tarn. This path has both a gentle section and a steep 45-degree ladder. When you see Pouakai Hut, it means you are on the verge of reaching the top of the mountain, and the scenery there will make your hard climb extremely worthwhile. 💖 Other tips while exploring Mount Egmont, don&#39;t forget to take sun protection measures. New Zealand&#39;s ultraviolet rays are very strong, and protecting the skin is an important part of enjoying the journey. Mount Egmont is not only a gem of natural landscapes, but also a carrier of cultural legends. It quietly tells the story of the past, waiting for every traveler to discover and feel. Whether it is for the magnificent scenery or for the moving legend, Mount Egmont is worth stepping on this land yourself to experience that unique charm.
