Weston Station Pond and Rail Trail walk moved to Sunday

[John Edmondson]

Hi All,

I have moved the Weston Station Pond Trip I lead each year from Saturday to Sunday. 

Weston Station Pond and nearby Mass Central Rail Trail (Rescheduled from Saturday 5/31)

Sunday, June 1 @ 6:30 am - 9:00 am

Important: if the rain is still steady on Sunday morning, the trip is canceled. Contact the leader if uncertain. Expect wet conditions – bring waterproof footwear. To reach the bike path, we will bypass a huge puddle that blocks the way by a side path (up a short moderately steep hill and then passing near a Weston water treatment facility).

A variety of birds, Great Blue Heron colony, chance of Indigo Bunting (no guarantees). We’ll walk along Weston Station Pond and then on the bike trail westward as far as the old station, then return by the same route. Expect to walk about 3 miles in total on easy wide trails and paved bike path (more than half on the bike path). Could be muddy on trails. There are no restrooms available at this location. Cosponsored with Menotomy Bird club.

Meet in back of the Biogen parking lot at 133 Boston Post Road in Weston. Enter at the first traffic light west of the Rte 20/Rte 128 intersection. Go around the building. Take a left at the stop. Park at the trailhead visible in the back left corner of the lot.
