There is no better way to celebrate spring than by getting in the midst of it. Wildflowers, bird song, and the fragrance of budding trees

are joys not to be missed. Here’s your chance!



On Sunday April 14th PRC will be returning to the Monksville Reservoir area in Ringwood and West Milford. Although PRC

had a winter hike here in February of 2012, bad weather greatly reduced attendance. So, we’re back! We found this a fascinating

location for wildlife, scenery, and history. Let’s go!



Hikers will meet at the parking lot on Beech Road just east of Monksville Reservoir. To reach it, take exit 57 on

Rt. 287 to Skyline Drive. Follow Skyline 5 miles north to Greenwood Lake Turnpike. Make a right there onto Greenwood Lake Turnpike and follow it

about 4 miles to a right on Beech Road. Look for a gravel parking area at the reservoir on the left.



The 4-mile hike begins at 10AM and will end around 2PM. We ask that you arrive by 9:45 to assure a prompt start.



Please bring lunch and a beverage, since a lunch stop is in the schedule for noon. And dress for the weather! Our hikes

are rain-or-shine events, within reason. If in doubt, call our office for a last minute update. We ask that non-members

contribute $5 (or join PRC for a mere $15) to offset our costs. See you there!
