Moonlit Walk – Presented by Five Rivers, Concord Conservation Commission and McAuliffe-Shepard Discovery Center
January 17, 2014 – Young and old enjoyed the McAuliffe-Shepard Discovery Center presentation on the moon at the recent event we co-sponsored with the Concord Conservation Commission and the Center.
About 65 people joined us, at Carter Hill Orchard, on a recent Friday evening. We started the evening learning all about the moon, which made a fantastic appearance – glowing a fiery red as it rose above the orchard!
Some folks were fortunate enough to view the moon and some stars, through the telescopes, before the clouds crept in. Others enjoyed a brisk walk through the orchard and made their way back to the barn and enjoyed some refreshments.
For the event, Eastern Mountain Sports graciously donated a 3-day snowshoe rental ($80 value) to two lucky Five Rivers’ Members who came to the event. Join Five Rivers Conservation Trust by January 31st and you too will be entered to win one of these terrific packages.
