Guided Full Moon Hike
Lace up your boots, grab your flashlight, and join the exploration of Mashomack’s shoreline and seaside forest under the light of the full moon.
Mashomack team members will lead visitors on a half-mile walk. Explore the effects of climate change, sea-level rise, and erosion along our coast while enjoying the beauty of winter’s last full moon.
Friday, March 18, from 7:30 to 9 PM.

Book in the Woods
The Mashomack Preserve Book in the Woods for March is “If You Find a Rock” by Peggy Christian. Pages are posted along the family-friendly half-mile Red Trail. Learn about wish rocks, skipping rocks, chalk rocks, climbing rocks — many are waiting to be found and enjoyed.
Beautifully photographed by Barbara Hirsch Lember, this book captures the wonder that special rocks can call up in all of us. A perfect family nature adventure and a great way to get your kids into the outdoors.
