Each year, male white-tailed deer shed their antlers, which you can find as you walk in the countryside. The Upton Open Space Committee and Friends of Upton State Forest are co-hosting a Shed Hunt at the Former Stefans Farm in Upton. We will divide into small groups that will go for an off-trail treasure hunt looking for deer antlers.
There is rough footing in places and it can be wet, so wear appropriate shoes. Protective clothing and eyewear are also recommended (brambles, branches and shrubs can hurt).
This program is open to all ages and skill levels. Children are welcome with supervision. Liability waiver required. A parent must sign for anyone under 18.
