Join fellow birders in their 20s-30s as we visit Fresh Pond Reservation! Located in the northwest part of Cambridge, Fresh Pond is home to 162 acres of space consisting of forests, meadows, wetlands, and open water. As we navigate our way around the 2.5 mile park loop trail, expect to see all kinds of songbirds, waterbirds, and spring migrants (especially warblers!) as we reach peak migration time in Massachusetts!

If you’re interested, stick around afterwards and we may walk over to Mount Auburn Cemetery for more birding!

Whether you’re a newcomer looking to start a new hobby or are a seasoned bird expert, birders of all experience levels in their 20s and 30s are encouraged to join! Let’s connect through our mutual appreciation for birds and the environment! Hope to see you there!

Dress for the weather conditions; bring water! Expect to walk approximately 3 miles on mostly paved/level paths. Bring binoculars if you have them; loaners are available on request (please email the trip leader ahead of time). Port-a-potties are available at the ranger station on the south side of the park.

This trip is specifically dedicated to those aged 20-39 years. Please do not bring children.

Plan to meet at the first intersection south of the park entrance across the street from 603 Concord Ave. You will be in the right place if you are approaching an open area (Lusitania Field). Meeting location coordinates: 42.38801, -71.14504.

Parking is available at designated areas at the southern edge of the park (Huron Ave.), but this is very limited. We can recommend parking at the Alewife T station and walking 15 minutes to the meeting location. Cambridge has strict parking restrictions and you may risk your car getting towed if you park elsewhere. There are some metered/time-limited parking spots on Wheeler St, Fawcett St, and Concord Ave. Don’t park in store lots (risk of towing). Cambridge residents with sticker can park in the Fresh Pond parking lots.
