DOC January Hike

DOC Logo

What do you do when you cross paths with a black bear?  Do black bears really hibernate?  Join the DOC on Sat., Jan. 17th to learn the answers and more interesting information on the common black bear.

We will then hike an average paced 5 mile hike over moderate to strenuous terrain.  We will be hiking at Boyd’s Tree Farm.  There are two short climbs.  If there is snow or ice, do not forget your micro spikes if you have them.  Wear orange.  Meet at 9:00 am at the Duncannon Family Health Center to carpool or at Boyd’s at 9:30 am.  Call 395-2462 or email dtakach@duncannonatc.org to register.
