It’s a beautiful time of year at the High Head Conservation Area! In addition to wolf trees and high elevation views, bearberry, shadbush, and blueberry are decorating hillsides and woods with their delicate pink and white blooms. Optional post-walk visit to Day’s Deli for a drink, snack, or lunch (those in the know rave about their lobster rolls 😊).
