Enjoy a short and easy 0.6-mile walking trail that takes us through a quiet open meadow to a small pond and then on a boardwalk through a forest and vegetated wetland. Marsh is home to 75 species of nesting birds, along with a host of other animals, such as pollinators in the meadow, frogs and turtles in the wetlands, and countless mammals such as white-tailed deer, beavers, otters, foxes, or even black bear and coyote in the forest.The walking trail through Parsons Marsh is accessible to visitors of all abilities. The wide boardwalk, packed stone dust trail, a picnic table overlooking the pond, benches on the boardwalk, and observation platform make Parsons Marsh both beautiful and accessible.WHAT TO BRING:Rain-gear & warm layers & hat & gloves in case it unexpectedly gets colder or wetter than you wantAppropriate footwear (that can get muddy),Snacks & waterBinoculars if you have them, as we may see birds or wildlifeIf this is the 1st time you've ever been to a Q-MoB activity, it is FREE, or if you are low-income and request a scholarship or work-exchange/volunteer, but if you have been to Q-MoB events before Please bring $10-$20 Tax-Deductible Donation (paid or as cash or check made out to "Q-MoB," a 501(c)3 non-profit charity) or by donating $25/month, $35/mo $50/month, $75/month, $100/month or more -- so you never have to donate at Q-MoB activities again (all regular events are FREE for monthly donors)WEATHER: Please check the weather in Lenox from your home before you leave for the hike, so that you will be able bring the right clothes to deal with any last minute changes in the weather.
