We’re blessed to have many protected natural areas near Beth El. Members of the Beth El community are invited to join any of three morning walks in local conservation areas on Tuesdays, May 12, May 19 and May 26 with a possible extension to June 2. While we’ll be particularly attentive to birds, we’ll open our senses to all aspects of nature. We’ll walk at a slow pace with frequent pauses to observe, covering up to 2 miles in distance. Join us even if you have no experience with bird watching. We’ll learn together how to spot and identify birds by sight and sound.
Conservation areas we may visit include the Assabet National Wildlife Refuge, Drumlin Farm, Great Meadows National Wildlife Refuge, various town conservation areas in Sudbury and adjacent towns, and Sudbury Valley Trustees properties. Steve Breit is organizing these walks and will announce the destination and parking location by email a day or two in advance. We’ll leave the designated parking area at 7:30 a.m. and return by 9 a.m. or shortly after.
We’ll be walking on flat or mildly graded trails. Participants should wear sturdy shoes and long pants with socks that you can pull over the pants for tick protection. Bring a walking stick if you need it for stability. Binoculars are desirable but not essential — Steve has a couple extras to loan. The Merlin Bird ID app can be very helpful — install it on your phone before you leave home.
