NORWAY — As winter makes its return, Western Foothills Land Trust is kicking off the season with a wide range of opportunities to get active outdoors, from guided programs to Nordic skiing and snowshoeing.
The Norway-based trust offers access to a Nordic ski center featuring nearly 25 kilometers of groomed Nordic ski trails, all free and open to the public at Roberts Farm Preserve, located at 58 Roberts Road.
A highlight of the preserve is its Warming Hut and Ski & Snowshoe Shed, which provides free Nordic ski equipment and snowshoes for use on the premises during hours of operation.
The Warming Hut is scheduled to open Saturday, Dec. 28.
Next up on the trust’s seasonal calendar is the Winter Solstice Lantern Walk, planned at 5 p.m. Saturday, Dec. 21, at Roberts Farm Preserve. This guided walk celebrates the start of winter, followed by hot cider and holiday cheer at the Warming Hut. Participants are encouraged to bring a lantern or headlamp to light the way.
The program is free, but registration is encouraged. To sign up and explore additional offerings scheduled from January through March, visit wfltmaine.org.
