10:15 to 11:30 am
Meets: outside the Ranger Station (at the clock tower facing the water)
250 Fresh Pond Parkway
Fresh Pond Reservation, Cambridge
Join us for a relaxing walk of Fresh Pond with Ranger Tim! No two weeks are the same in nature, and Tim will share his insights about what's growing, changing, and blooming in the neighborhood. This walk will meet on-site at Fresh Pond because the Collins Branch Library is currently under construction. This is a winter weather walk so clothing for cold temperatures is suggested. For more information or with any questions, please contact Michael at mroberson@cambridgeMA.gov.
You can find a link to register for the walk here. Registration is required for this event.

Hosted by Navigation Games, come and learn the sport of orienteering with this special challenge of a game! Use a special map to find checkpoints around the park in teams or pairs— but stay on your toes, some tricky leprechauns will be moving checkpoints as you go! Wear your green, bring your friends, and have fun. Participants must pre-register by noon the day-of to fill out a waiver via their website. This event is free of charge.
