About this Event
Difficulty: Moderate, with some rocky inclines with uneven surfaces. Slow pace.
Appropriate for: All. Children ages 10+ welcome if accompanied by an adult.
Leader: Boot Boutwell
About Boot: Roland “Boot” Boutwell, a freelance itinerant naturalist, has been leading nature walks for the Friends of the Fells for nearly 25 years. He has also led walks and/or taught botany programs for a number of other organizations including The Trustees of Reservations, Arlington Community Education, The Massachusetts Association of Conservation Commissions, Winchester public schools, Wright-Locke Farm in Winchester, The New England Wild Flower Society and the Massachusetts Audubon Society.
About the walk: We will search the Long Pond area for a variety of evergreens as well as other easily recognizable plants of winter including a few winter weeds. As always, we will also focus on some fun and interesting natural history about these plants, and of course there will be a poem or two or three. Meet at the Long Pond parking lot, opposite 532 South Border Road in Winchester.
Heavy rain or heavy snow cancels.
**Please do not register unless you can absolutely attend this walk. We often have waitlists and would like as many folks as possible to be able to attend.**
