This gentle, relaxed pace walk is perfect for new walkers, those who prefer a slow pace or have been away for a while, and walkers who like wide, level paths without obstacles. We’ll start on the paved bike path, then follow a figure-8 path around former cranberry bogs. Come see what’s new at this active wetland restoration site! 

Meet at 9:15 pm to sign-in and stretch. We’ll begin walking promptly at 9:30.  Hosted by Sue Moynihan with Sweep TBD. Read to the bottom for directions to our meeting point at parking lot on Headwaters Drive.
