Fort River Crew
October 25th will mark the official opening of the Fort River Birding and Nature Trail at the Silvio O. Conte National Fish and Wildlife Refuge in Hadley, Massachusetts. This trail has been the home base of the NorthWoods Youth Conservation Corps (YCC) Fort River Crew for the past three summers and site of the Corps’ annual “Spike Camp” – a week long event that gathers all NorthWoods/USFWS partnership crews from five states for training, team building and an all-crew project. The Fort River trail (and crew) is located about 2 miles from the USFWS Regional office. Join the partners for the trail opening – look below to view the invite details – or be sure to check out the trail next time you’re in the area!

Please join the US Fish & Wildlife Service Regional Director Wendi Weber and Silvio O. Conte National Fish and Wildlife Refuge Manager Andrew French on October 25 to celebrate the opening of the Fort River Birding and Nature Trail. Building the universally accessible nature trail involved years of dedicated effort by many people of all ages. The trail allows people of all abilities to enjoy the nature of the Pioneer Valley’s national wildlife refuge.
Tours of the trail will be offered by the Friends of Fort River Division following the speaking portion of the program.
The event will be held rain or shine.
