Follow intrepid naturalist and New Conservators’ director Katherine Howard as she walks through Sawmill Brook’s upland woods, wetlands, rock walls, and dramatic outcroppings of our state rock, Roxbury Puddingstone. Katherine will lead walk participants on a 1.2-mile exploration of the woodland area from Vine Street to Marla Circle and return along the brook (the walk will also cover the adjoining “new” section acquired in 2004 and blazed in recent years). The woodland trail is mostly flat, but uneven and rocky underfoot, and there are parts over wetlands that are traversed on wood planks called “bog bridges.” Parking is available at the Vine Street entrance lot and on the street.
Rain Date: Saturday, June 21, 10 am-12 noon
