30th Annual Donald & Beverley Jones Memorial Hike
Partake in autumn’s splendor with friends and family as we celebrate the work and lives of our friends Donald & Beverley Jones. This year’s hike will mark the 30th anniversary of this wonderful event, and we all have a lot to celebrate!
The scenic and historic Rosemont Valley will remain farmland – forever! The last unpreserved working farm is now protected, ensuring the beauty of the valley will continue to inspire and awe.
