May 19th Wachusett Mountain hike

[Jessica Walden-Gray]

Hi Everyone,

On Saturday May 19th the club is co-sponsoring a Spring Hike with the Friends of Wachusett Mountain and the Department of Conservation and Recreation. The hike begins at 1:00 pm and the exact location is yet to be determined.  Our role is to help people look for insects along the way. As for our fall walk, this is a catch-and-release program so keep collecting to a minimum if you find something you want to take home. Please bring nets and other collecting equipment if you have them available. Ent Club member Scott Smyers is the President of the Friends of Wachusett Mountain and has been working to integrate outreach, research and conservation at Wachusett Mountain. There will be an update with the location of the walk. Many of us will be driving from the Boston area so there will be many opportunities for carpooling. 

Visit the Friends of Wachusett Mountain website for more information: http://www.friendsofwachusett.org/

This hike will be a lot of fun and I am looking forward to seeing what we will find in such an unusual spring. Please invite friends and family and keep your fingers crossed for warm weather!

Best,

Jess 

CEC President
