About the Hike: Come celebrate the approach of spring with a slow-paced late winter walk. We’ll begin with a little poetry and then head out into the woods around Greenwood Park to enjoy the beauty of nature. As usual, the walk will focus on plant identification and natural history. If there is any snow on the ground, we will see if we can identify a few common animal tracks. Please dress for the weather. There is no bad weather . . . only improper clothing. Meet in the Greenwood Park parking area, 176 Pond St across from the Stone Zoo in Stoneham. Steady rain or heavy snow cancels. Contact: Boot Boutwell (781-729-4712) or [email protected]
