Please join us for the FoF rite of spring. This year's Clara Cummings Walk in the east side of the Middlesex Fells Reservation aims to document the diversity of fungi, bryophytes and lichens along the trails leading from the Botume House Visitor Center on Spot Pond to Melrose Hill on the eastern edge of the reservation. Bring a hand lens, a bag lunch with drinks, and a friend.
