About the Event
Join us for a slow, easy walk around some of the best birding locations in the Nashawtuc area, managed by the Concord Land Conservation Trust, as we look for birds in the wet grasses of French’s Meadow and the forests of Simon Willard Woods. Between bird sightings, we will learn about other species of plants and animals that live in our managed lands.
