Boston Nature Center and Wildlife Sanctuary — 500 Walk Hill St., Mattapan, MA
As Massachusetts trees put on their most dramatic display, fall is the perfect time to sharpen your identification skills and dig into what's driving the show. On this guided walk through the Boston Nature Center, you'll learn to identify trees by their leaves, bark, and structure, and explore the remarkable adaptations that help them transition from summer's abundance to winter's quiet. Along the way, discover the cultural, practical, and medicinal connections people have shared with these trees for centuries. Dress for the weather and wear comfortable walking shoes; this program includes an outdoor walk. Bring a water bottle. This program is free for Dot Rx members.
