Join us as we partner with a Mass Audubon Teacher/Naturalist to greet the summer solstice at this 180-acre conservation area managed by the Commonwealth of Massachusetts Department of Conservation & Recreation (DCR).

Learn the history of the famous Brook Farm utopian community that occupied this site from 1841-1847 as we explore woods, meadows, and marsh focusing on arriving migrant and other songbirds.

Trails here are wide and flat. We will cover approximately 3 miles on foot.

This is a rain-or-shine event, so please dress accordingly. We recommend sturdy shoes or boots and suitable rain wear.

Please meet at the Baker Street entrance to The Gardens at Gethsemane Cemetery, 670 Baker Street, West Roxbury. Staff will direct you to a designated parking area. Do not park your vehicle in the cemetery roadway or in front of the cemetery’s administrative offices.
