Come enjoy the spring flowers at beautiful Lowell Holly Reservation! After warm ups, we will proceed along the carriage road as we head toward the peninsula between Wakeby Pond and Mashpee Pond where we will enter one of the few remaining old growth forests on Cape Cod, consisting of beech and pine trees as well as 250 native holly trees, and many rhodendrum and mountain laurel. This property was owned by a former president of Harvard University and is now the property of the Trustees of Reservations. As we follow the loop around the peninsula, we will be treated by beautiful water views on all sides.
