All About Beavers

May 21, 2023

A beaver dips its paws into the edge of a pond, framed by dry grasses.

Have you ever wondered what we would do without our semiaquatic rodent friend the beaver? From improving water quality, trapping and storing carbon, to counteracting some of the worst pollution from agriculture and ­fossil-fuel emissions– the beaver does it all.

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 […]

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.

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 […]

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 […]
