Kick off the hiking season with Capital Region Land Conservancy - the Richmond region's premier land trust - and Chesterfield County Parks & Recreation on Monday, March 9 from 2:00pm - 5:00pm as we visit the Brown & Williamson Conservation Area. Led by Naturalist, Mark Battista, and CRLC Land Stewardship Manager, Ashley Moulton, this hike offers the community an opportunity to experience conserved lands first-hand. Brown and Williamson Conservation Area lies along the James River in Chesterfield County and encompasses 262-acres of forest and diverse terrain that provides prime foraging habitat for bald eagles and contains a 20-acre lake which provides critical habitat for migratory waterfowl. The landscape is a mixture of mature upland forest, steep slopes, slow-flowing stream bottom land, geological intrigue, and bluffs overlooking the river.
The hike covers varied terrain of moderate skill level and will consist of a nearly 3-mile amble learning about the history of the property and the geological aspects, and we will of course be on the lookout for eagles! There are no trails so participants should be comfortable walking on uneven terrain including navigating steep elevations.
