Springtime in Virginia Wood

Difficulty: Moderate, with some rocky inclines with uneven surfaces

Pace: Slow

Appropriate for: All

Leader: Boot Boutwell

About Boot: Roland “Boot” Boutwell, a freelance itinerant naturalist, has been leading nature walks for The Friends of the Fells for nearly 25 years. He has also led walks and/or taught botany programs for a number of other organizations including The Trustees of Reservations, Arlington Community Education, The Massachusetts Association of Conservation Commissions, Winchester public schools, Wright-Locke Farm in Winchester, The New England Wild Flower Society and the Massachusetts Audubon Society.

About the Walk: Spring is a time of rebirth and renewal, and it has been with us for over a month now. Several early spring flowers are poking their heads above ground and, of course, the days continue to get longer. We’ll celebrate the season by heading out into Virginia Wood to enjoy spring in all of its glory. The walk will focus on plant ID as well as fun and interesting natural history, and of course there will be a poem or three.

Meet at Virginia Wood parking lot at 1 Woodland Road in Stoneham, MA. For information, call Boot Boutwell at 781-729-4712.

Steady rain cancels.
