The East Hampton Trails Preservation Society will host a cranberry picking hike in the Walking Dunes on Monday at 1 p.m. Participants will learn about the history and ecology of the Walking Dunes, and have been advised to take a plastic bag for any remaining cranberries in the bog.

Hikers have also been advised to wear warm, waterproof boots and gloves if it has rained recently. A surprise recipe will be disclosed at the end of the hike.

The meeting place is at the end of Napeague Harbor Road. Valerie King can be called at 646-217-1825 for more information.
