The Urban Wilds Program and neighbors of Roslindale Wetlands welcome families and individuals to join us on a fun and educational walk through the wetlands. We will talk about the importance of wetlands in Boston, how residents worked with the City to protect Roslindale Wetlands, and how we can work together to keep places like this healthy. The walk will last up to one hour and participants should be ready for the possibility of a few muddy and uneven sections of trail. 

The Urban Wilds Program and Mass Audubon need your help! Come join us in “an international effort for people to find and document plants and wildlife in cities across the globe. It’s a competition where cities are in a friendly contest with each other to see who can make the most observations of nature, who can find the most species, and who can engage the most people” (www.citynaturechallenge.org). We will focus on exploring the plants and animals of this wetland and woodland. The species information we find will be helpful in guiding additional restoration efforts at this Urban Wild.

No experience or expertise necessary! Come with sturdy footwear, the iNaturalist app downloaded, and your curiosity.
