Join HWF to celebrate Earth Day on a family-friendly guided hike! Heather Levy, our Education & Grants Coordinator will share the wonders of Hitchcock Woods. We will enter at the Tea Cottage entrance ((33.5566, -81.7530/across from Rhone St) and walk a ~1.2 mile loop - please note that trails are sandy and have grading topography with some hills. We will walk slowly, taking lots of breaks. Please bring comfortable shoes to walk in, sunscreen, water, and snacks. You may also want to bring a camera and a notebook to record our observations. There are no public restrooms or places to refill a water bottle, so please plan accordingly.
About Hitchcock Woods: Hitchcock Woods, nestled in the heart of Aiken, South Carolina, is the largest urban forest in the United States at 2,100 acres. Open daily from sunrise to sunset, its 70 miles of trails offer a haven to the public on foot and horseback. Owned and managed by the Hitchcock Woods Foundation, the Woods comprise a mosaic of mature pine forests and bottomland hardwood forests, supporting a diversity of plants and wildlife. The Woods is protected in perpetuity by a conservation easement held by the South Carolina Department of Natural Resources and is a designated South Carolina Heritage Preserve Trust site.
