26 people and one dog enjoyed lemonade, snacks, games, and conversation at the historic Wellington Fields parcel on Trapelo Road. Mort Isaacson provided an update on projects happening around the house, and a few folks braved the rain for a quick walk around the parcel to admire the landscape being transformed by the WLT colunteer stewards, in coordination with the City of Waltham's Recreation Department. Be sure to join us for next year's Lemonade Social!
Join Waltham Fields and Waltham Land Trust for a guided evening walk and conversation exploring the rich agricultural history of the farm fields at 240 Beaver Street. Stewarded by Waltham Fields Community Farm, this land has played an important role in Waltham’s farming heritage for generations, and we look forward to sharing its stories with you. Refreshing teas from our farm-fresh herbs and flowers, and light snacks will be served during a Q/A session in the shade as the sun sets. Featuring speakers Sonja Wadman, Dee Kricker and Stacey Daley.
About 22 children and their parents joined WLT Board Director Deb Herman on a guided nature walk along the Mass Central Rail Trail for families. The group met at the AutoZone lot on Lexington Street and walked east towards Lyman Street. Many youngsters were very excited to learn about native plants; all were thrilled with the prizes they got at the end--small animal figurines for the littles and bird houses for older kids.
Unwind, relax, and unplug performing gentle and restorative yoga outside at the Land Trust's Lakevew Preserve on the west shore of Hardy Pond. Laura Arena, a popular instructor at the Waltham YMCA, will lead us through a series of stretching, holding poses, and deep breathing while we admire the pond before the sun sets! This is a rescheduling of the postponed June 30 and July 13 events. If you signed up for those yoga sessions, please do not register for this--we will carry over your registration.

WLT was very excited to be a partner in this reboot of the old Riverfest. Many people stopped by our outreach table, and about 15 people joined in our nature/history walks along the Charles. On the second stroll, we were treated to wildlife sightings: a Great blue heron, turtles, and a cormorant! We loved the multi-cultural music and cuisine that was offered all day long. Can't wait for next year!
Over twenty people celebrated National Trails Day by removing litter with stewards from the Waltham Land Trust from along the Mass Central Rail Trail (MCRT) between Hammond Street and the reNEW apartment complex east of Linden Street. We were thrilled to see nature as well! Many thanks to everyone who helped. Remember, you can park in designated Rail Trail spots along the path in the AutoZone lot on weekends!
