Start your New Year off right with a guided hike to the ecologically rare dwarf pines ecosystem. Due to a weather phenomenon called “radiational cooling,” the Pine Barrens are cooler than other locations on LI. Learn about this, native flora and fauna, and more on this 3-mile hike that is on relatively flat terrain. Bundle up in warm layers, hats, and gloves for the hike. Space limited. $10.00 per person; $5 per person for 2026 QWR members.
