Butterfly, Bee and Wasp Walk – The most important thing to attract butterflies, bees and wasps is to have the plants they need for feeding and breeding. Come explore Ken and Jen Groeppe’s plantings specifically designed to attract a broad array of arthropods and learn more about the arthropods in our area. Group size is limited to 20, so please RSVP early to Cynthia Henshaw at 413-477-8229 or chenshaw@eqlt.org. Wednesday August 5th is the rain date.

Hardwick Fair – Come join us at the Hardwick Fair. We will be selling a 16 month, 15th anniversary calendar of the East Quabbin Land Trust. The calendar will highlight many of the properties and programs of the land trust over the past 15 years. The dunk tank will be in full swing again this year, so come and give a dunk to a friend and support EQLT. More information about the fair can be found at www.hardwickfair.com.
SEPTEMBER...
Thursday, September 17, 6:00pm
Timber Sale Walk – Come join Harry Webb on his property as we explore his woods to see the result of a timber sale during the winter. This thinning has improved the growth conditions of the remaining trees, provided modest income and enhanced wildlife habitat. A quick check on a neighboring area of woods shows the changes over 10 years from a prior harvest. Please RSVP to 413-477-8229 or chenshaw@eqlt.org. The walk will begin at 1451 Petersham Road in Hardwick. Wear boots and long pants.
SATURDAY WORK DAYS...
Throughout the warm weather, on the first Saturday of each month we will be doing maintenance on EQLT properties. We welcome your help on July 11th at Patrill Hollow, and on August 1st and September 12th at Moose Brook where will will clear trails and build a bridge.
