Join us for a hike in the Middlesex Fells Reservation on Saturday, October 18 from 1 to 4 PM. The Fells is a 2,060 acre natural treasure, something all too rare in this urban/suburban landscape. It is bounded by Malden, Medford, Melrose, Stoneham and Winchester. A diverse landscape of rocky hills, meadows, wetlands, oak and hickory forests, quiet ponds, vernal pools, panoramic vistas and intriguing geological features distinguish this woodland. This range of habitat sustains a variety of wildlife including mammals, reptiles, amphibians and birds which add to the biological diversity. www.fells.org
Come to enjoy the foliage while learning about fauna, flora and geology. Wear sturdy boots and bring water. Hike is moderate in difficulty. Meet at 1pm at the Long Pond Parking lot on South Border Road in Winchester MA, roughly across from house # 532.
