Situated along the banks of the South Nashua River in Clinton, Massachusetts, Clinton Bluffs Wildlife Management Area has a mix of barrens with dry oak and floodplain deciduous forest communities. Patricia Swain, a natural community ecologist, will explore the distinctive physical features and plants that help define these communities. This field trip is sponsored by New England Wild Flower Society on Saturday, July 29, from 10 – 2. Part of the site discussion will focus on the obvious effects of disturbances such as fire and flood on the local natural communities. The walk difficulty is rated as moderate. $38 for NEWFS members, $46 for nonmembers. Register online at http://www.newfs.org/learn/our-programs/clinton-bluffs-wildlife-management-area
