Opening and Closing in the Time of Covid

Opening: Berkshire Natural Resources Council announces Accessible Trail Opens at Thomas & Palmer Brook, a 0.5-mile accessible loop trail at the Thomas & Palmer Brook reserve in Great Barrington. "From the trailhead, the path crosses the bridge, that spans Thomas & Palmer Brook, a tributary of the Housatonic River, then descends into a meadow where it becomes a loop trail." It contains a forest, old apple orchard, two large sugar maples and two large boulders. www.bnrc.org

Closings: Harry and David's and Bass Shoes are closing at the Lee Outlet Mall.
