THE CLEARING’S DOCENT-LED HIKES START IN MAY

The Clearing Folk School is offering free, docent-led hikes covering the 86-year history, folklore and landscape of the school and its 128-acre property.

The roughly two-hour hikes begin at 1 pm on Saturdays and Sundays starting May 1 and run through the end of October. Find specific tour dates at theclearing.org. Tours start at the Jens Jensen Visitor Center, 12171 Garrett Bay Road in Ellison Bay. The trail terrain is rugged in places, so sturdy walking shoes are recommended.  

Open-house hours of the historical campus area of the property are every Saturday and Sunday, May-October, 12-4 pm. The public is welcome to visit this area only during these times.

Social distancing is expected as much as possible; masks are required inside; disposable masks will be available; and those experiencing any COVID-19 symptoms are asked to stay home.
