Full Pink Moon Hike, Cosponsored by Friends of the Long Pond Greenbelt
Hike Leader: Jean McDermott, Friends of the Long Pond Greenbelt
Join FLPG and SOFO on a leisurely-paced hike through open-field trails. The Pink Moon name comes from the herb moss pink, or wild ground phlox, which is one of the earliest widespread flowers of the spring. Other names for this month’s celestial body include the Full Sprouting Grass Moon, the Egg Moon, and among coastal tribes the Full Fish Moon, because this was the time that the shad swam upstream to spawn. Hikes are limited to 25 participants and priority will be given to 2021 FLPG members. Participants must wear masks. This free program is for all ages. To register email: greenbeltnews@aol.com.
