Gen X Dog-Friendly Morning Walk & Breakfast Tailgate

Meet up for a dog-friendly morning walk and a BYO breakfast tailgate at Scarborough Land Trust’s Pleasant Hill Preserve.

This preserve is a lovely spot in the early hours of the day, usually with birdsong as a backdrop for walking the woods and meadows. The plan is to gather in the preserve parking lot to socialize while we eat and caffeinate– bring your own food/coffee and I’ll bring a baked treat to share. We’ll then set out on 45-60 minute walk over mainly flat terrain (some rocks & tree roots) with a few short hills. If you are into nature, definitely bring your binoculars and/or camera.

Dogs are welcome (though not required!) as long as they are well behaved with people/other pups. They can even be off-leash once we get beyond the accessible entry trail, though I may ask you to leash up if things get unruly or as we pass others on the trail.

Obviously dress for the weather and be tick aware. As for shoes, the trail could be wet with dew or muddy if there have been recent rains (or snow!).

Parking is limited, so if you are bringing a guest, plan to carpool. There are also no bathroom facilities (other than the great outdoors), so go before you come. Bring water for your pet and cleaning up after him/her is required – there is a bag station and garbage can.

This event will be weather dependent… misty morning is OK but not really rainy. If necessary, I’ll make a call on the weather by 5pm on Fri Nov 29, so be sure to check back here for any updates.  Register at https://www.meetup.com/scarborough-land-trust-nature-and-farm-events/events/301430197/ .
