Located in Mattapan and surrounded by residential neighborhoods in the city of Boston, Massachusetts Audubon’s Boston Nature Center (BNC) is a 67-acre oasis and landscape restoration success story. Formerly the site of the Boston State Hospital, this restoration has transformed BNC into open space and natural habitats including more than two miles of trails and boardwalks through meadows, fresh-water marsh, woodlands, and gardens. The Garden Club of the Back Bay has held a meeting in its green building and members were impressed. Visit with the Ecological Landscaping Association on Thursday, August 2, from 10 – 12. Register online at www.ecolandscaping.org. $20 for ELA or Mass Audubon members, $25 for nonmembers.
On Saturday, January 16, beginning at 11 am, enjoy the signs of winter wildlife at the Mass Audubon Boston Nature Center, 500 Walk Hill Street, Mattapan, with a Teacher Naturalist as your guide. Snowshoeing is an easy and fun way to get around. You’ll discover animal tracks and signs, beautiful winter scenes, and hidden winter treasures. Preregistration is not required, and snowshoe rental is included in the price ($8 for Mass Audubon members, $12 for non members), For more information, call 617-983-8500, or email bnc@massaudubon.org.
