Join WCLT in celebrating the completion of the All-Persons Sensory Nature Trail at the Gilmore Pond Woodland Park.

We have undertaken a multiyear project to make the trail around Gilmore Pond accessible to everyone, regardless of ability.

Come see the result of that effort: A trail that can be enjoyed by the visually impaired as well as those with limited mobility, which now includes multiple stations with audio content dedicated to the history and nature of the surroundings.

There will be a brief ribbon-cutting ceremony, followed by guided tours of the trail showcasing its features and discussing the local flora and fauna.

Meet at the Gilmore Pond Trail Entrance, GPS address approximately 19 Quick Farm Rd. Westborough. Please park on only one side of the road, and respect the neighbors. Free and open to the public.

Before leaving check Westboroughlandtrust.org for cancellations.

Come on a kid-length hike where youngsters will explore nature with their parents, followed by a fun scavenger hunt for ages 6 and up to practice what you have learned.

Prizes will be awarded!

Parents/Guardians must supervise their children; this is not a drop-off event.

Pencil or pen, camera, long pants, closed shoes, and insect repellent recommended.

Location: Wayne F. MacCallum Wildlife Management Area. Take Dr. Solomon Carter Fuller Way (formerly Hospital Road) off Lyman Street in Westborough. Go straight up the hill, past the soccer fields on your left. Take the last left turn before the parking lot for the condo building. Go toward the lake, and where that road meets the lakeshore, park in the lot and meet at the yellow gate.
Free, open to the public.
