June Hike at Conwell

June 18, 2023

A group of 8 hikers navigates a wet, grassy area at the edge of a beaver pond, with tall hemlocks and other conifers in the background.

Celebrate the opening of the new loop trail at Conwell with a 2.5-mile hike! We’ll visit Conwell Pond, Eagle Nest Ridge, and the beautiful and remote Jackson Swamp. This trail covers a diverse range of habitat types, and features evidence of beaver and great blue heron activity at the swamp. The rain date for this […]

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. Join Hilltown Land Trust and beaver naturalist Drew Johnson to learn more about the considerable positive […]

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 […]
