As a  side note Chicopee Woods Conservation Area is initiating a parking fee starting sometime in January. So I'm unsure if when we go the parkig fee of 5 dollars may or may not be implemented. As of last Sunday it had not.  So bring 5 bucks just in case. http://sorba.org/sites/default/files/resources/Chicopee_SORBA.org _doc.pdf
