Vernal Pool Plunge – Walk

May 3, 2023

Two people stand in at the edge of a vernal pool in a leaf covered forest in early spring. One of them holds various jars in their hands with samples collected from the pool, looking back and smiling at the other person. Three more people in the background are visible on the far edge of the pool.

Discover the ephemeral wonder of vernal pools with Hilltown Land Trust and naturalist Nellie Wilson! Join us for a walk in the woods where we’ll explore the rich biodiversity within vernal pools. From fairy shrimp to salamanders, these temporary habitats offer a unique and necessary ecosystem for some of our region’s most interesting species. This […]

Vernal Pool Plunge – Webinar

May 2, 2023

A pair of hands cradles spotted salamander eggs, small black dots floating in a clear film about the size of a baseball. In the background, a small piece of a vernal pool coated with algae and leaves and reflections of the sky and trees is visible.

Come learn about the certification process and ecology of vernal pools with naturalist and vernal pool guru, Charely Eiseman. Vernal pools are fragile ecosystems. In order to protect them, Massachusetts has a state certification that restricts certain kinds of activity near vernal pools. This webinar will cover the basics of vernal pool ecology, how to […]

Hike at Fare-Thee-Well

April 26, 2023

A cluster of white bloodroot blossoms emerges from brown leaf litter and downed sticks.

Ring in spring with a hike at Fare-Thee-Well Wholeness Center in Huntington! We’ll explore a forested hillside on a moderate 1.5-mile hike, then circle up around the fire for a bring-your-own-lunch picnic in the meadow. All ages are invited to join. Well-behaved, leashed dogs are welcome. Pre-registration is required. Access Info Trail Distance: 1.5 miles […]

Earth Day Trail Work at Conwell

April 22, 2023

Bundled up against the cold, four people stand shoulder to shoulder in the woods, smiling into the camera and holding saws and loppers and other tools for trail work. A gray sky is visible through bare trees and a leaf covered forest floor in the background.

Celebrate Earth Day by helping HLT extend the trail network at Conwell down to the beautiful Jackson Swamp! We will focus on building a half mile section of new trail descending from Eagle Nest Ridge down to the swamp, and then reclaiming another half mile of logging road to create a loop trail out of […]
