Saturday, August 17, 9:00 am – 1:00 pm – Stacy Mountain Preserve Field Trip

The New England Botanical Society will sponsor a field trip to Stacy Mountain Preserve in Gill on August 17. The Leader is Peter Grima, co-author of Flora of Franklin County, Massachusetts. The Nature Conservancy’s Stacy Mountain is a botanical hotspot that continues to turn up new records of rare and interesting plants. In a relatively short distance, we will explore rich vernal pools, cliffs of sedimentary bedrock, and a dry power line riddled with legumes and interesting grasses. Hickory-hop hornbeam woodlands and a rich, cold swamp are also nearby. The terrain is difficult, and the event is limited to twelve participants. Register here so Peter may be in touch with you about this trip.
