About Boot: Roland “Boot” Boutwell, a freelance itinerant naturalist, has been leading nature walks for The Friends of the Fells for nearly 25 years. He has also led walks and/or taught botany programs for a number of other organizations including The Trustees of Reservations, Arlington Community Education, The Massachusetts Association of Conservation Commissions, Winchester public schools, Wright-Locke Farm in Winchester, The New England Wild Flower Society and the Massachusetts Audubon Society.


About the Hike: The Winter Solstice arrives today! We have arrived at the beginning of winter and the shortest day of the year. We’ll take a stroll through the Bellevue Pond area and take a walk up Pine Hill to Wright’s Tower to get a good look at the sun. We’ll talk about the winter solstice and what it means using poetry, lore and science. And as usual, we’ll also focus on plant ID as well as fun and interesting natural history about the plants which we see. Meet at the Bellevue Pond parking lot on South Border Rd in Medford.

Steady rain or heavy snow postpones.
