CALENDAR

Jan 14 - 1pm - Animal Tracking Quabbin Reservior
- Our very favorite hike! Join the
experienced animal tracks team from Walnut Hill Tracking Center on a tracking hike near the
pristine Quabbin Reservoir woods. Last year we saw dozens of fascinating tracks and learned about
wonderful habits of New England animals during winter. Register in advance with the Walnut Hill
group at Walnut Hill. $25/person fee to Walnut Hill. Snowshoes might be needed if the snow is
deep. Walnut HIll and REI both rent them. We can help arrange this.

Jan 29 - 1:30 pm- Arlington Great Meadows - Our seasonal visit to the Great Meadow to observe
changes in the vernal pond and meadow. We've heard peepers in the Spring, seen firelflies in the
Summer. Let's experience winter on the Great Meadow. Meet at Waldorf School on 739
Massachusetts Ave Lexington MA.

Feb 12 - 10:30 am Boston Rock Gym - What a blast we had last year! Great, safe climbing gym
