    History in the Forest Walk

    History in the Forest Walk


    November 13, 2021

    Saturday, November 13
    1PM to 3PM

    Every landscape tells a story about those who have passed before us and the lives they led. From stone wall architecture and abandoned cellars to wildlife food webs and tree species composition, New England’s forests are especially rich places to interpret the past. On this gentle 2 mile hike we will explore decades and even centuries old clues that remain on the landscape today as testament to the activities of humans before Deer Pond Farm was designated as a nature sanctuary. We’ll also discuss those implications for present day plants and wildlife.

    Register here.
