Guided Trail Walk at Marshview Trail
Saturday, May 21 10 am - 12
Join ecologist Tim Simmons and the Open Space Committee on a spring walk at Merrimac's Marshview Trail. Explore the marsh habitat, and learn to identify the spring wildflowers and the migratory and resident birds.
Bring your binoculars! There are a lot of migratory birds moving through right now and the resident birds are mating and setting up nests so lots of action at the marsh!
We will also introduce you to the Cornell Ornithology Lab's Merlin app for identifying birds by their songs.
The walk is about 2 miles long and the trail can be muddy in places.
We will meet at the McLaren trailhead on Brush Hill Road at 10 am. You can download a map from the documents section of this page.
