We will walk a loop around the property, including Duck Pond, the Mass Central Rail Trail, the site of the chestnut nursery, the Christmas tree farm, Lee's Bridge and Mill Pond. Directions: Take Boston Post Rd. to Crescent St. A mailbox with a Land’s Sake sign marks the driveway to 27 Crescent St. Go to the end of the driveway to a gravel parking lot just past the house. Participants will be notified by 9:00 am if the walk is cancelled due to inclement weather. Wear sturdy hiking shoes and bring water, snack and cell phone. A walking stick is encouraged, as the trail may be icy. Call the COA at 781-786-6280 to register.
