Nature Walk, Arnold Arboretum

Few places are as beautiful and accessible as the Arnold Arboretum! If you want to meet wonderful folks and explore amazing paths, this group is for you! Below are directions to our meeting location and helpful information. Directions: We meet at the Forest Hills Gate of the Arnold Arboretum at 10 AM every Saturday. Forest Hills Gate is on the Arborway. Please note: This is not the gate directly across from Forest Hills Station. (That's Washington Gate.) Forest Hills Gate is a five-minute walk from the T station and is easier to access. From the MBTA: At Forest Hills Station, exit the turnstile, turn left, and follow signs for the Arborway. Cross the street and walk uphill along the Arborway, following the stone wall to your left. This is about a 5-minute walk. Driving: In your GPS, enter the address "Forest Hills Road." This will take you to the Forest Hills Gate. Parking is available on the Arborway. If you miss us: Our first stop is the Hunnewell Visitor Center, where you can use the restroom and fill your water bottle. You're welcome to meet us there if you'd like. We get there between 10:15 and 10:25 am. We're the folks who form a circle on the lawn. General Information: Our walks are approximately two hours (10 am-12:00 pm). Please wear shoes or boots with good traction, as not all paths are paved. Please wear long pants (not ankle-length) and consider a hat, as they protect against ticks and other insects. Please bring weather-appropriate clothing, extra layers, and a water bottle. We walk at a moderately brisk pace. We stop for a rest break halfway through. If you need to leave early, you're welcome to; just tell a group leader. Restrooms and water are available in the Hunnewell Visitor Center (our first stop) and along the trail. (Please bring a bottle for water.) Dogs are welcome on a leash. Please bring water for your fur baby and a dog coat, if appropriate for your fur baby's breed. This group is free to…
