Presenters Rosemarie Mason and Diane Mason of the Outdoor Club of South Jersey will take viewers on a virtual hike of the Batona Trail in the Pinelands.

Along the way, the presenters will discuss some of the highlights of the trail, such as the ghost town of Martha, Batsto Village, Tea Time and Apple Pie Hill, Pakim Pond and Ong’s Hat.

This event will be streamed at the Pineland Commission’s YouTube channel, where the video will be archived afterwards.
