Upcoming Field Trips

  • Quabbin Reservoir (was July 5)

    Quabbin Reservoir - Gate 10 235 Daniel Shays Hwy, Pelham, MA, United States

    With the extreme heat conditions the leader has decided to walk Gate 10 until 9:00 am and then turn back to the cars.  This section of the walk is under trees and is much more comfortable than the trip back out of the Quabbin.  Back at the cars we can decide to go to Quabbin
