One of Harvard's most famous treasures is the internationally acclaimed Ware Collection of Blaschka Glass Models of Plants, the "Glass Flowers." This unique collection of over 4,000 models, representing more than 830 plant species, was created by glass artisans Leopold and Rudolf Blaschka, a father and son team of Czech glass artists. We'll also explore several other exhibits, including the new Birds of the World gallery, the amazing Arthropods: Creatures that Rule, and the inspiring Lily Simonson: Painting the Deep.

Explore the trails at Deer Pond Farm on this collaborative program with Great Hollow Nature Preserve and Naromi Land Trust. Learn about each conservation-minded organization as well as how to enjoy the outdoors in winter. Beginners and experienced snowshoers are welcome. Please note, if we have no snow, we will simply convert this program to a hike!
Allow for an average of two hours and 1.5 -2 miles. Dress for the weather. Think head, hands and feet! Wool hats, gloves and socks are really good choices. Bring snowshoes, water bottle, walking stick, binoculars, camera and a sense of adventure. Inclement weather cancels. *Snowshoes are not available to borrow.
