Late Spring Guided Nature Walk at Bellevue Pond

Difficulty: Moderate

Appropriate for: All

Leader: Jeff Adams

About the Outing Leader: Jeff is an avid outdoor enthusiast & naturalist who’s been enjoying the natural world for 50 years. He’s a member of the Friends of the Fells, The Trustees, Mass Audubon, Sudbury Valley Trustees, Acton Conservation Trust, Arlington Land Trust, Essex Greenbelt, Massachusetts Association of Conservation Commissions, The Osher Lifelong Learning Institute at Tufts University and The Massachusetts Archaeological Society, Inc. He and his wife, Carol Andrulli, have been hiking in the Fells for over 30 years & frequently participate in numerous hiking/nature programs.

About the Outing: Summer will be here soon. During our walk around Bellevue Pond and the surrounding area, including Wright’s Tower, we’ll focus on Plant Identification using characteristics such as branching patterns, buds, leaf scars, galls, odor, touch and overall shape. We’ll also discuss some select natural history, folklore and science. Maybe we’ll see a tree best described as a “root system” and not a “tree”?

There will be lots to see so we’ll look to maintain a quicker pace between stops so we can maximize what we see.

We will meet at the Bellevue Pond Parking Lot across from 70 South Border Road.

* PLEASE ARRIVE EARLY - PARKING CAN FILL QUICKLY *

Steady heavy rain or stormy wind cancels.
