Join me on this “City to Forest” walk! We will walk through a quiet neighborhood along the Herring River, past lots of trees and an old cemetery and then to the fish ladder and around the West Reservoir with many water views.

Meet at 8:45 a.m. to sign in and stretch.  We’ll begin walking promptly at 9:00 a.m. Hosted by Rosemary DeVito with TBD Sweep.  Please read to the bottom for directions to our meeting point.
