Spring Equinox Walk 2017
April 10, 2017
On Sunday, March 26, about 25 people met at the Watch Factory for the Waltham Land Trust’s Spring Equinox Walk. It was a dry but cool day. We went for an easy stroll along the Charles River in search of birds and signs of Spring.
We spotted a Great Blue heron as we walked from the Woerd Avenue boat launch towards Forest Grove Park on the Newton line. At Purgatory Cove, we saw a variety of mergansers, both hooded and common.
Hope to see you next time on a walk!

Over 60 nature lovers of all ages came to Christ Church for a program with Rick Roth the Snake Man and the Cape Ann Vernal Pool Team . We were introduced to many snakes found in New England and the world. Members of the team walked through the audience with them so everyone could see up close and take photos. Afterwards, brave people who wanted to hold the legless reptiles were given that opportunity. Many thanks to the Waltham Cultural Council for supporting this event!
