Loop hike through the rolling hills of the Bryn Coed Preserve

We will be hiking through open fields and woods in this 500-acre former farm that has been preserved by Natural Lands Trust. The preserve includes a Pennsylvania Champion white oak, the headwaters of the Pickering Creek, and several Bald Eagle nesting spots. Terrain is mostly flat, mostly sunny with periods of shade and can sometimes be muddy so wearing hiking boots is recommended. Bring lunch/snacks and water. Steady rain cancels.
