WHAT ’ S NEWS IN MOON TOWNSHIP
TAKE A HIKE !
The weather is a bit cooler , but with a warm jacket and some comfortable shoes , it ’ s a great time to get out and watch nature as it changes right before our eyes . We are lucky to have the Montour Woods at our doorstep . The main trailhead for this 320-acre conservation area is located on Hassam Road . You can walk , run and bike along the 10 miles of forested trails . Motorized vehicles are not allowed however . And please leave the natural surroundings as you found them since they are the home of many happy animals . For more information , visit hollowoak . org .
