Mary Immaculate CenterA special hike on an unusual property, this hike takes us through the 400-acre property of the Mary Immaculate Center in Lehigh Twp., Northampton Cty.
Bob Hosking, a local naturalist who has frequently walked it, and Bud Cole, a local outdoor writer, will describe the natural and cultural attributes as we meander, especially taking in fall changes.

Bring water and snacks. Rain cancels.
