Spring Equinox Walk 2017
April 10, 2017
On Sunday, March 26, about 25 people met at the Watch Factory for the Waltham Land Trust’s Spring Equinox Walk. It was a dry but cool day. We went for an easy stroll along the Charles River in search of birds and signs of Spring.
We spotted a Great Blue heron as we walked from the Woerd Avenue boat launch towards Forest Grove Park on the Newton line. At Purgatory Cove, we saw a variety of mergansers, both hooded and common.
Hope to see you next time on a walk!

The Natural History of the Cornelia Warren Estate: Camp Cedar Hill, Girl Scouts of Eastern North America by Lesley Sneddon Now Available! Camp Cedar Hill is a portion of the former estate of Cornelia Warren . In keeping with her desire to maintain the land for public benefit, Ms. Warren wished to carry this tradition beyond her life by stating so in her will. After her death, the Trustees of Cedar Hill deeded five parcels of the estate among several beneficiaries, including the Massachusetts Girl Scouts (now the Girl Scouts of Eastern Massachusetts). To this day, Cornelia Warren’s legacy of philanthropy and social welfare continue to benefit the residents of Waltham and beyond.
