The Princeton Open Space Committee has organized a series of nature walks for this spring. The series will feature Princeton naturalists and will take place on a variety of Princeton locations. All of the walks are provided free of charge, and attendance will be limited to keep the group sizes reasonable.
 

To find out more about each of the walks, and to register, visit the Town Website, Open Space Committee Page, and click on the Nature Walks link: (https://www.town.princeton.ma.us/open-space-committee/pages/nature-walks).

A varied set of topics will be covered with these walks:
·        Esker And Forest Walk
         Birding and Introduction to the Merlin Birding App
         Birding at Four Corners
         Vernal Pools and Spring Wildlife at Wachusett Meadow Wildlife Sanctuary
·        The Geology of Princeton's Landscape and Buildings
         Young Forests for the Birds: Forestry for Wildlife and Water Supply at Wachusett
·        Evening Bird Walk, Rhodes and Greene Roads, Bickford Pond
·        Moth Night in Princeton
·        Pollinators and Naïve Plants on the Thomas Prince Nature Trails

Besides the natural science education provided by the walks, a goal is to introduce local residents to various natural resource areas in town, and to our nature leaders.

This program is being sponsored by the Princeton Open Space committee, the Princeton Environmental Action Committee, and the Princeton Land Trust.
