The Friends of Dragon Run will hold a free winter nature hike from 1 p.m. to 3 p.m. on Sunday, Jan. 22. Friends members will lead small groups of participants on the trails at the group’s Big Island site. Big Island is the put-in and take-out for many of the Friends’ paddle trips. In addition to the nature hike, a scavenger hunt will be held for children and adults. Hot cider and cookies will be served after the hike. Members, their children, and guests are all invited. There is limited space available, so registration is required. Go to DragonRun.org for more information and to register.
