Earth Day 2026 – Nature Hike + Treasure Hunt at Windswept Ridge

Hey there Earth lovers! Join Essex Land Trust’s Jeff Croyle and artist Jen Longworth for a special hike and nature activity celebrating Earth Day at Windswept Ridge. We’ll take a hike around the beautiful lowland creek area of this preserve while participating in a Sensory Treasure Hunt along the way! Our hike will end at the ongoing Four Season Art + Nature project Jen has created, where we’ll share the Treasure Hunt finds we’ve collected and add them to the art project. This is a family friendly event that will last approximately 90 minutes. Dress: Trails will likely be muddy. Please wear hiking shoes or boots as appropriate. This is a weather dependent hike. Please check our Facebook Page for weather related updates. Dogs are not permitted at this event. Parking is behind Essex Financial.
