National Trails Day Hike

Celebrate National Trails Day with WCLT and SVT.  Starting at the Fish and Wildlife Headquarters, this 7-mile hike will lead you through SVT’s Cedar Hill and Sawink Farm, plus Crane Swamp. Experienced hikers preferred.  Bring a lunch for a break on top of Cedar Hill.  Please arrive 30 minutes early to coordinate a car shuttle, as the ending location will be different from the starting location.  WCLT Members: Free, Non-members: $5.

Introduction to Watching Dragonflies and Damselflies

Join Dave Small, president of the Athol Bird and Nature Club, to explore the basics of dragonfly and damselfly (Odonate) identification. A one-hour presentation will be followed by applying what we learn to observing local dragonflies in the field.  Be prepared to wade in shallow water and have fun!

Gilmore Pond

Gilmore Pond Project

Come to our work party to help remove invasive plants from the Gilmore Pond area. This work is easy in that it requires just a lopper (WCLT has a few if you do not own one) to cut the plants. The plants are then dragged to a staging area where they will be disposed of. What we do need are volunteers to help us since we have several acres of plants to remove.

The work party will meet at the start of Gilmore Farm Road, which is the road into the Orchard Hill over 55 development.
Raindate: June 15

Note: If there is interest we will add an afternoon session.
