Welcome Spring!

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: Come celebrate the arrival of spring with a slow-paced nature walk. We’ll begin with a little poetry and then head out into the woods around Greenwood Park to enjoy the beauty of nature and look for some signs of spring. As usual, the walk will focus on plant identification & natural history. Meet in the Greenwood Park parking lot, 176 Pond St across from the Stone Zoo in Stoneham.

Steady rain or heavy snow cancels.
