Available to purchase! A Walk in the Park – a new nature guide to Prospect Hill Park
August 19, 2021

We are thrilled to announce the publication of a new nature guide to Prospect Hill Park! Written by WLT Board member Lesley Sneddon and designed by Tammy Keithley, the book includes descriptions of different areas in the park that support characteristic groups of native plants and their habitats and associated wildlife (plant communities). Included are photos and descriptions of plants commonly seen in the park, and maps of each plant community. This informative, and occasionally amusing, book can be purchased for $20 at Awalkintheparkbook.walthamlandtrust.org. All proceeds go to the Waltham Land Trust.

Over 60 nature lovers of all ages came to Christ Church for a program with Rick Roth the Snake Man and the Cape Ann Vernal Pool Team . We were introduced to many snakes found in New England and the world. Members of the team walked through the audience with them so everyone could see up close and take photos. Afterwards, brave people who wanted to hold the legless reptiles were given that opportunity. Many thanks to the Waltham Cultural Council for supporting this event!
