EFFINGHAM — Earlier this June, the Green Mountain Conservation Group opened a new interpretive trail to the public at its conservation center located at 236 Huntress Bridge Road in Effingham.
The nature trail includes interpretive guides and numbered sign posts where visitors can stop and read more about the surrounding environment. In addition, children ages five to ten can complete a Trail Activity Booklet and earn their Junior Conservationist patch. Interpretive trails are trails with guided educational elements. They are generally shorter trails and teach visitors about the natural, historic, or cultural environment that they are walking through.
