Last Event June 7th, 2025. Burnt Hill Park See you next time! Celebrate CT Trails Day, Saturday, June 7th, 1 p.m.,  with a Trail Ranger Guided Hike  at Hebron’s Burnt Hill Park! Site Map Join Hebron Trail Ranger co-Leaders for a guided hike of the beautiful nature walking trails on Burnt Hill Park, 148 East St., including a loop on adjoining town-owned open space! Meet at the park’s pavilion to start (go straight into the park and take a left towards the pavilion parking).  The hike brings you through old farming land, forest, and meadows, following an old laneway and historic stonewalls.  The two mile walk is an easy to moderate 2 miles round trip with some rocky and potentially muddy sections, so hiking shoes are recommended. Allow 1.5 hours to enjoy this hike.  The event is free, open to all, and only stormy or steady rain cancels.  Pets are welcome but must stay leashed.  Bring a picnic lunch to enjoy before the walk! Directions Native Plant Swap 10.00am to Noon Before the hike at the Pavilion, from 10-noon, Carolyn Aubin, local talented gardener and nature lover, has organized a free Native Plant Swap.  Native plants help biodiversity.  Good to know. As always when hiking, wear bright clothing, tick protection, and be sure shoe soles are clean when entering so any invasive pests don’t “hitch a ride” into new territories. To avoid the possibility of spreading jumping worm cocoons (undetectable in soil as they are the size and color of poppy seeds), exchanging hardy native plant cuttings in water and / or bare root plants (roots packed in moist non-soil medium & wrapped in plastic) are encouraged.  There will also be potted plants.  Gardeners who know there are jumping worms in their yards can bring home potted plants without risking the start of a new colony. Why be concerned about jumping worm cocoons?  It only takes one cocoon to start a new colony and there are no viable means of eradicating the invasive worms once hatched and multiplying.  Jumping worms eat all the organic matter in the soil and especially threaten our natural and forest ecosystems, including native plants, trees, birds, insects, and so on.
