Lee Town Forest is a magical place encompassing 196 acres of diverse habitats ranging from the Town Bog, vernal pools, shorelines, mixed hardwood and coniferous forests and ravines. On this springtime walk, we’ll visit several habitats as they come to life and learn how events of the past 12,000 years have shaped this bit of planetary real estate. On our previous nature walk, we explored the flora and fauna of the town forest during the fall. There will be much new to see and learn this spring. Wear good walking shoes and bring walking poles and a camera if you wish. For those interested, the walk will be followed by a BYO picnic lunch at nearby Little River Park.
