The spring or vernal equinox signals the beginning of nature’s renewal in the Northern Hemisphere and the signs are everywhere! Worms begin to emerge from the earth. In fact, the March Full Moon is called “The Full Worm Moon” for this reason. The arc of the Sun across the sky shifts toward the north and birds are migrating northward, along with the path of the Sun. The increasing sunlight is what triggers birds to sing. Celebrate the moment with a delightful hike at the Thomas Darling Preserve home to one of the state’s largest spruce forests and a groundwater-fed glacial wetland. Dress for the weather and bring a headlamp or flashlight.
