Thank you for registering for our Full Moon Trail Walk! We look forward to seeing you on April 12th. Here are a few extra reminders for this event:

 

We will walk from the Orchard Park train depot to Jewett Holmwood Rd and back, which is approximately 2.6 miles. On Saturday, April 12th the sun will set at exactly the same time as the full moon rises - 7:54pm. The moon will be at peak illumination at 8:22pm. 

 

The April full moon is known as the pink moon, not because it will be pink, but because it corresponds to the early springtime bloom of a certain wildflower native to north America commonly called creeping phlox or moss phlox.

 

Anyone under 18 must be accompanied and supervised by an adult at all times. This is an outdoor event at night, so please dress for the weather.

 

Only red-light headlamps or flashlights should be used; please bring those if you have them. We will have a limited number of red-light flashlights for use if you don’t have those.

 

The walk is subject to cancellation due to inclement weather. If we have to cancel, registered members will be notified by email that day. 

 

We cannot control mother nature, so we're unable to guarantee a nice sunset or clear view of the moon that night. We will still proceed with the event even if it is cloudy. 

 

See you on the trail,

 

Mary Brummer, President

Erie Cattaraugus Rail Trail
