Come join us for a New Moon Hike on February 28 at 7:00 p.m.!

Embrace the beauty of the night sky as we explore the Barba’s Point trail that takes you to the edge of Bare Hill Pond. The hike is less than a mile out and back but has a steep downhill section at the beginning of the trail and climb up on the return.

If the ice is thick and safe – and passes a safety inspection – we will be able to walk onto the pond and view the constellations.

What’s a new moon? A new moon occurs when the moon is positioned between the Earth and the Sun, rendering it virtually invisible. This celestial event creates the perfect conditions for stargazing, as the absence of moonlight allows the stars and constellations to shine brightly.

Date: Friday, February 28
Time: 7:00 – 9:00 p.m.
Location: Park at the Bromfield School and we’ll meet at the trailhead near the tennis courts.
What to bring: Hiking sticks, flashlights, red headlamps, “yak-traks” for snow/ice walking, and dress appropriately.
