rogramming for people of all ages is being offered in March by park rangers at Chester County parks. Among the events on the calendar, sponsored by Chester County Parks and Preservation, are nature walks, hikes, disc golf and maple sugaring programs. Chester County’s parks include Hibernia County Park, 1 Park Road, Coatesville; Springton Manor Farm, 860 Springton Road, Glenmoore; Warwick County Park, 191 County Park Road, Pottstown; and Wolf’s Hollow Park, 1399 Schoff Road, Atglen.

A Night Hike will be held at Warwick on Saturday, March 5, from 6 to 7 p.m. The hike, suitable for people age 10 and over, will be a 2-mile trek on the Horseshoe Trail, where participants will listen for owl calls. Attendees should bring a flashlight. Hibernia will hold a disc golf weekend on Saturday and Sunday, March 5 and 6, from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. The nine-hole course, designed by the park rangers, is moderately challenging, making it suitable for groups or individuals with at least some disc golf experience. Participants should bring their own discs, although some will be available to borrow. Maple sugaring programs will take
place at Wolf’s Hollow on March 5 from 2 to 4 p.m. and at Warwick on Saturday, March 12, from 2 to 4 p.m. and from 4 to 6 p.m. Attendees will learn how a maple tree is tapped and how the sap is boiled to make real maple syrup. A Hidden Trails Hike will take place at Hibernia on March 6 from 1 to 3 p.m. The 3-mile hike will cover some of the old trails that are no longer on the map. The outing is open to those able to take part in a more vigorous hike. “Ranger Techs: Springtime on the Farm” will be presented at Springton Manor Farm on March 12 from 10 a.m. to noon. The program, open to schoolage children, will focus on the transition of the seasons from winter to spring.
The program will include a 1-mile hike. In addition to those already mentioned, other county parks include Nottingham, Exton and Black Rock Sanctuary in Phoenixville. Parks are open every day, except Christmas Day, from 8 a.m. to sunset. The county is also home to three trails ideal for hiking - the Chester Valley Trail, the Schuylkill River Trail and the Struble Trail. To view an interactive map of the trails, as well as all the county’s publicly accessible trails and nature preserves, visit www.chesco planning.org/transportation/TrailPlanning.cfm and look under “New! - Chester County Trailfinder.”
