Walk through the Past: from Habitat to Rock Meadow and Back

Join us for a "Walk through the Past: from Habitat to Rock Meadow and Back," a three-mile walk guided by Roger Wrubel, director of Mass Audubon's Habitat Wildlife Sanctuary. Walks begin at the Habitat's Visitor's Center at 9 a.m. and 2 p.m. on Saturday, Sept. 12.

Participants will walk through conservation land to Rock Meadow and back and look for clues to Belmont's agricultural past, such as the foundation of the Highland Farm barn, stone walls, and meadows where Holstein cows used to graze. The group will also visit the town's two community gardens, at Habitat and Rock Meadow. The walks are free and co-sponsored by the Friends of the Library and Mass Audubon's Habitat Wildlife Sanctuary. Please register at the library's reference desk or by calling 617-993-2870.
