CASCO — Loon Echo Land Trust will hold a guided foliage hike at 9 a.m. Saturday, Oct. 8, at Mayberry Hill Preserve.

Jon Evans, Loon Echo’s stewardship and volunteer coordinator, will lead the 1.2-mile hike over easy terrain. The property’s 160 acres of open fields and forested areas will provide participants with great foliage viewing and a chance to spot one or more of the various critters such as deer, moose, bobcat and hare that call this habitat home.

Hikers should plan for cool weather conditions (trail may be slippery due to fallen leaves) and meet at the Mayberry Hill trailhead at 9 a.m. Participants should wear appropriate layered clothing, boots with good tread and bring water and snacks. The hike is appropriate for most children. Plan on spending 1 1/2 hours on the hike.

To get to Mayberry Hill Preserve, take Route 121 into Casco village and turn right onto Mayberry Hill Road. Follow to the top of the hill and turn left. The preserve is a short distance on the right. Park alongside the road.

All Loon Echo hikes are free; however, donations are always welcome.  To learn more, visit www.loonecholandtrust.org.
