Walk at Monson's Cedar Swamp: Explore the Swamp and Learn About Restoration Efforts

Join Opacum Land Trust’s Vice President Toni Uliana and director Glenn Colburn for a walk at the Atlantic White Cedar Swamp in Monson to discuss the ecological restoration work led by the Monson Conservation Commission in collaboration with the Nipmuc tribe of Native Americans and with support from Opacum Land Trust. The walk will follow the Cedar Swamp Trail around the swamp. The trail is approximately 1.5-miles in length with a firm trail, and ends with a ¼-mile road walk back to the parking area. The majority of the trail is an easy walk, but expect some sections of uneven ground and roots. We will stop numerous times along the trail to examine the local plants and discuss the declining health of the cedar swamp and what Monson and the Nipmucs intend to do to restore the swamp to a more healthy and vigorous condition.

Please RSVP as parking is limited! Parking details will be shared closer to the event. Thank you!
