MASSBAY FOREST WALK
Saturday, December 13, 10:00am
Come walk the beautiful trails at risk from the planned sale of this forest to a developer. Members of the Wellesley Trails Committee will lead the way, pointing out interesting features, views of the Great Blue Hills, and maybe a raptor or two! A wonderful way to spend time outside with friends and family.
- Park in the far right corner of the MassBay parking lot at 40 Oakland Street, (across the street from the main campus)
- Meet near the wooden sign in the forest.
Thirty residents attending the post-Thanksgiving forest walk. Don't miss out on the next one!
