Wildlife Transect, Kay Wood Shelter Area

Location: Dalton, MA
Date: 03‑Feb‑2026
Activity: conservation
Difficulty: N/A
Register »
Winter transect to check on what the wild residents of our Appalachian Lands are up to. We will be exploring the Kay Wood Shelter area in Dalton. We've not done a transect in this area in quite some time and will be looking in a different area than on our last visit so who knows what we'll find.
We will be out all day so dress for winter weather (bad weather cancels). Lunch, snacks, water recommended. No experience necessary, pace is slow, off trail with plenty of time to examine spoor to see what the residents are up to. Make sure to bring along your curiosity!

Wildlife Transect, A.T. Lands in Beartown State Forest

Location: Monterey, MA

Activity: conservation
Difficulty: N/A

Late winter / early spring transect to check on what the wild residents of our Appalachian Trail lands are up to. While we will be covering a portion of Beartown SF that we've covered before, most of our time will be in the area east of the National Park Service lands recently added to Beartown SF. This area has a variety of habitats and is relatively remote so we are apt to see some cool stuff!
