Family Nature Hike and Scavenger Hunt
Sunday, November 15
1:00 - 3:00 PM
Wildlife Management Area.
Come on a kid-length hike where youngsters will explore nature with their parents, followed by a fun scavenger hunt for ages 6 and up to practice what you have learned.
Prizes will be awarded!
Parents/Guardians must supervise their children; this is not a drop-off event.
Pencil or pen, camera, long pants, closed shoes, and insect repellent recommended.
Location: Wayne F. MacCallum Wildlife Management Area. Take Dr. Solomon Carter Fuller Way (formerly Hospital Road) off Lyman Street in Westborough. Go straight up the hill, past the soccer fields on your left. Take the last left turn before the parking lot for the condo building. Go toward the lake, and where that road meets the lakeshore, park in the lot and meet at the yellow gate.
Free, open to the public.
Before leaving check Westboroughlandtrust.org for cancellations.

Westborough Community Land Trust
The Westborough Community Land Trust (WCLT) is a private, member-supported, nonprofit organization. The trust was established in 1997 to preserve open space in response to increasing development pressures.
Our purpose is to safeguard land to meet the environmental, recreational, agricultural, and scenic needs of the Town of Westborough and to preserve open space and the character of the land.
We pursue these goals through the acquisition and stewardship of land, educational activities, and advocacy in regard to the health of waterways, aquifers, and watersheds.
To date WCLT has preserved more than 206 acres of land and acts as stewards for close to 400 acres in Westborough.
To carry on these activities, WCLT has Land Preservation, Stewardship, Education, Membership, and Finance Committees.
WCLT welcomes new members from Westborough and the greater community.
What are the advantages of a land trust?
As a nonprofit organization, a land trust such as the Westborough Community Land Trust is able to receive gifts of land, purchase open space, or secure conservation rights. It can negotiate with landowners and developers to achieve balanced growth and undertake creative fundraising for land acquisition. Unlike an official municipal body, a land trust can negotiate sensitive land acquisitions and pursue the financing needed to achieve them in a timely, flexible fashion.
