Looking for a new hiking trail to explore?  Let Appalachian Mountain Club (“AMC”) leaders Molly Ruffle and Kristen Sykes introduce you to the Bay Circuit Trail (“BCT”) and Greenway, on Wednesday, May 28 at 7pm at the Milton Public Library, 476 Canton Avenue.  They will share fun hiking facts about the BCT, a permanent recreation trail and greenway corridor through thirty-four towns in Eastern Massachusetts.  It covers an area located close to 4 million people and extends over 200 miles from Plum Island to Duxbury/Kingston Bay. Many sections of the trail, which was created in 1929, are accessible by MBTA commuter rail and other public transit systems.  This program is free to the public and is sponsored by the Friends of the Milton Public Library.

Molly Ruffle has been at the AMC for twenty-two years, leading trips and implementing key recreation, conservation, and education programs throughout the Northeast region.  Kristen Sykes is the Director of Conservation Strategies for the AMC and Director of Operations for the Bay Circuit Alliance, which is working to conserve and steward the 230-mile BCT. The Appalachian Mountain Club, established in 1876, is the oldest and largest conservation, recreation, and outdoor education organization in the country.
