Saturday, May 8, 7 to 9 a.m., Bird Walk:  Lenny Palmer, Dot Mooney, Marian Harman, leaders

Come join us to explore Westford's largest piece of conservation land,  in search of resident and migrant birds, at the Richard Emmet Conservation Land, Nashoba (aka. Kennedy) Pond, and the Nashoba Brook Mass. Audubon Sanctuary.  This will be about a two mile walk over fairly level but rough and rocky ground.  Wear appropriate footgear.  Bring binoculars if possible.  No dogs, please.

Meet at the end of Trailside Rd., off Powers Rd.  At the cul-de-sac, continue on the short dirt driveway to the Richard Emmet Land parking area.

Sunday, May 16, 1-2:30 p.m., Wildflower Walk: Elana Schreiber, leader

Join Westford's foremost wildflower expert, on a beautiful trail to the historic Stone Arch Bridge, in search of spring wildflowers. We hope to see early spring wildflowers and shrubs in bloom, and will see the impressive Stone Arch Bridge. Walk is appropriate for the whole family, about one mile long and level.  Park on Cold Spring Rd. by the Stone Arch Bridge sign. 

Parking will be on the north side of Concord Rd., across from #224. Please park directly on Concord Rd., pulling off to the side as much as possible. The group will then proceed across the hayfield to the pond.
