Upcoming Events
First Pollinator Garden Planting
Please join us for our first pollinator garden planting on Saturday, the 28th! We will work alongside boy scouts in a project to create a new pollinator garden at Fresh Pond Reservation (FP). Thanks to Fresh Pond’s Ranger Tim, we have a space to plant free native plants that are being donated by the architects of the Polinature Exhibit at Harvard’s Graduate School of Design (see article).
After planting, we will host a Native Plant Tour of FP. If you would like to join us please fill out this google form.
We hope to see you there!

Get a chance to see pollinator moths up close, marveling at their amazing variety of colors, and learning their crucial role in local ecosystems and the food chain.
