Join veteran wetland scientist John Dick for a free woods ramble in search of some of the 22 species of ferns that have been found at Wildcat Reservation. As you know, ferns can be considered a marker that separates wetlands from uplands. (If you’re late, note that the group will move clockwise.) John will use Peterson Field Guide to Ferns (Second Edition: Northeastern and central North America, by Cobb, Lowe and Farnsworth, 2005). Be prepared to go off-trail with appropriate tick protection!

Join Us for Breakfast Before Walking!

If you’d like to make a morning of it, join John for a pre-walk breakfast at Wayne’s Boxford Community Store (7 Elm St.) at 8 a.m.!

Directions: There’s free parking at the Town Hall (7A Spofford Rd.). Everyone will meet in the parking lot and then walk to the nearby Wildcat Reservation.
