Enjoy a summer stroll to study a wide range of wildflowers in bloom along the edge of Bellevue Pond, a beautiful site within the 2,500 acre rocky woodland known as Middlesex Fells in Medford, on Tuesday, August 6, from 10 – 2, with Roland “Boot” Boutwell, naturalist. Then hike up Pine Hill, one of the many rocky outcrops of “fells” in the area for a panoramic view of downtown Boston. After lunch, if there is time, hike to a small meadow area to study one more very different type of habitat. The walk focuses on plant ID as well as fun and interesting natural history about the plants you see. Bring lunch, a field guide or two, and a hand lens if you have one. Sponsored by the New England Wild Flower Society, the fee is $38 for NEWFS members, $46 for nonmembers. Register on line at www.newfs.org.
