Join the park naturalist at the Log Cabin Inn Environmental Learning Classroom for a challenging off-trail interpretive hike as we comb the woods to document tall and exceptional trees of Cook Forest. The Forest Cathedral holds the most remarkable white pine stand in the Northeastern U.S., but don’t forget about the monster Eastern hemlock, black cherry, Northern red and white oak in Cook Forest’s eight other old growth forest areas. We will be documenting very seldom seen areas of the park, which may include the following areas: Cook Trail, Deer Meadows, Seneca Forest, Ridge Camp, Maple Drive, Swamp Natural Area. We have the potential to break current height records for a number of Northeastern U.S. trees. We will car-pool to study areas.
