Sunday, November 7, 2:00 pm – 3:00 pm – Amazing Sandpiper Migration

by

Nature photographer Eduardo del Solar’s primary goal is providing artistic and technical renditions of many species across the Americas. Join him on Sunday, November 7, from 2 – 3 at the Boston Nature Center, 500 Walk Hill Street in Mattapan, for a slide presentation documenting the migration of sandpipers from Mary’s Point, New Brunswick. In early August, the Bay of Fundy low tides expose the shrimp sources that allow these birds to double their weight and provide the fuel they need to take a non-stop flight to Central America. Come hear the fascinating story! Free. No registration required. To see the exhibit online, log on to http://delsolar.org/nature/webs/marypoint/index.html.  Eduardo’s spectacular photographs will be on view through December 5 in the Boston Nature Center’s Education Wing.

Saturday, November 6, 10:00 am – 3:00 pm – Second Annual Esplanade Fall Clean-Up

by

The Esplanade Association invites you to join them for the Second Annual Fall Clean-Up on Saturday, November 6th from 10 AM-3 PM, to help beautify the park and ready it for its annual winter coat of snow.

Volunteers are needed to help with leaf raking and general clean-up. To make sure that everyone’s in the fall spirit, we will provide apples and cider. Gloves and rakes will be provided, but volunteers are encouraged to bring their own gear as well. All ages are welcome!

They are also in need of volunteer leaders for Fall Clean-Up Day to staff 4 check-in stations at the park (2 leaders each): Lee Pool, Hatch Shell, Dartmouth Street, and the Exercise Course. Volunteer leaders will help with check-in, handing out cider, apples, and tools, and any other emergencies that may come up. Leaders are asked to be at their stations from 8:30 AM to 3:30 PM.

For more information and to RSVP, please contact Jessica Blohm, Park Project and Volunteer Coordinator at 617.227.0365 or jblohm@esplanadeassociation.org.
