The Hammond Pond/Webster Woods complex is the largest conservation area in Newton, and one of the most biodiverse.We will visit the western portion, a little southeast of Newton Centre, and see a dozen fern species and perhaps a club-moss or a lady slipper in bloom. It’s not very hilly, but we may go off-trail a bit.Wear long pants and repellent. Bring any fern you would like to identify.
Meet at the end of Warren St. From Beacon, take Glen Ave. south, then first left onto Warren.
Rain date is June 7.
