In a boggy corner of the Blue Hills is a lovely diversity of ferns. It is the site where Massachusetts Fern was discovered, and an excellent location for netted chain fern. On Sunday, August 18, from 1 – 4, discover two different wood fern hybrids as well, and see how they compare with their parent species. The New England Wild Flower Society sponsored walk will be led by Don Lubin and Ray Abair, and the fee is $28 for NEWFS members, $35 for nonmembers. Register at www.newfs.org. Wear long pants and bring insect repellent and a hand lens.
