The trails are mostly flat and easy to walk and we may walk about 1.5 miles. Millennium usually has water & portapotties near the athletic fields. Participants should wear waterproof footwear and bring sunblock, insect repellent, water, and hats.
The walk is free but all participants must pre-register by emailing cgeorge@massaudubon.org and copying neil.calabro1@icloud.com. Please note that participants must be at least 13 years of age and outings are limited to 30 people.
