Property Manager Michael Labossiere and Education Director Linton Harrington of The Trustees of Reservations led a group on the remote and seldom seen “wild side” of the Copicut Woods, a Wampanog word meaning "Deep Woods". This portion of the Bioreserve is called the Shockley Lot and lies west of Yellow Hill Road. The SuperBowl 2007 Sunday walk traversed through Proprietor's Way to the Promised Land through parts of the Bioreserve that are rarely seen. The frozen ground made walking much easier than it would be in warmer spring weather when much of the ground would be too soft and wet to hike on. Other heart healthy walks by the Trustees have included the Cedar Swamp, the Mowry Path, the Promised Land, a, trailbuilding walk, a cross-country ski trip, a walk through Interlachen and a Stone Walk. For more information about other walks and events organized by the Trustees, check the calendar on their web site, call 508.679.2115 x10, or e-mail them at bioreserve@ttor.org.
