Join us for a short walk in the light of the full moon. The March full moon is often called the Worm Moon to signify the warming earth as in preparation for spring. Meet at the Twin Pines trailhead of the Lodi Marsh Segment on Lodi Springfield Road.
Wear appropriate clothing for the weather, sturdy shoes, and bring a light as well, and in case of slippery conditions, a walking stick is useful. Leashed, well behaved dogs are welcome.

Wolves have howled at the Moon for centuries, yet it is still there…
Join us on Thursday evening, January 25th, for a short walk (perhaps to howl?) in the light of the full moon at the Lodi Marsh Segment. The January full moon is often called the Wolf Moon or sometimes the “stay at home” moon…but come out and howl!
We will meet at the Robertson Trailhead on Lodi/Springfield Road at 7:30 pm. Watch for the yellow “Ice Age Trail Event” signs. For directions visit:https://goo.gl/maps/RE2C5

The Hike:
Greetings hikers, walkers, strollers, and saunterers!
Join the Lodi Valley Chapter of the Ice Age Trail Alliance on Saturday, June 11th for our monthly full moon walk under the Strawberry Moon.
We will meet at the Twin Pines Trailhead on Lodi/Springfield Road at 7:30 pm and walk up the trail to take in the views of the Lodi Marsh and the moon. Depending on how energetic everyone is we might even go further…or not!
The moon rises around 5:30 pm so it will be fairly light at the start of the walk, but we may need to rely on flashlights and headlamps by the end as the sun sets about 8:30 pm. Please wear appropriate clothing for the weather and bring along a flashlight or headlamp. Well behaved, leashed dogs are always welcome.

Fireflies rising from prairie grasses – little flickers of earth-side starlight; soft, velvety nighttime air freed from the heat of the day; a glowing moon on the rise – a pendant hanging from a chain of stars.
These are summer evenings in their full grandeur. A perfect way to extend them, luxuriously past dusk, is to head out for a full moon hike. Several Chapters of the Ice Age Trail Alliance are honoring July’s full moon in this manner – happily leading hikes along various segments of the Ice Age Trail. Continue reading →
We’re not sure what the leader has in mind for a route for this evening hike one day before the July full moon. However, the Brooklyn State Wildlife Area has several vantages affording a view of moonrise, as well as sunset, and the hike is sure to include one or more of them.
