It has many other unusual and surprising features of rocks, hydrology, topography, and trees. In this walk, Richard Primack will share what he has learned about the pond during an intensive study over the past nine months. Meet at 1:40 pm at the end of Elgin Street and walk from there. Alternatively, meet at 2 pm at the bench at Bare Pond. Trip Leader: Richard Primack (857-636-8378), Professor of Plant Ecology at Boston University and lifelong Newton resident, primack@bu.edu. If you plan to attend, please let Richard know beforehand by email. The rain date will be November 9.
