Wildlife Transect, West Branch Rd Area

Date: 10‑Jan‑2026
Activity: conservation
Difficulty: N/A

It's been quite awhile since we did a transect in this area but hikes/snowshoes through the area in recent winters has indicated we can expect some interesting findings. This is a rugged area, particularly if we have significant snow, and we may need to use snowshoes so keep that in mind when deciding whether to join this one.
