Did you know that Dedham has a Town Forest between I-95 Northbound and I-95 Southbound? Step inside a hundred yards and you’d think you were in a peaceful nature preserve!
Join us for a walking tour inside the Town Forest, where you’ll hear historic facts (and some myths) while also learning about trees, spring flowers, and stone walls. The tour will be led by Dedham Museum & Archive educator, Jim Parr, and Stephanie Radner of the Conservation Commission.
Time: The tour will be approximately 90 minutes to 2 hours, from 11:00 a.m. – 12:30/1:00 p.m.
Location: Meet at the entrance to the Town Forest. There is no street number, but the entrance is located across from Greater Boston Urology Care Center at 910 Washington Street. Do not park there since you would need to cross Washington Street. Instead, park along the side streets on the side of the Town Forest entrance: Fay Road, Chickering Road, or Carmichael Circle. See the map below.
Because this is a walk in the woods and there will be roots and moderately challenging terrain, participants are encouraged to wear proper foot ware, bring water, insect repellent, and sunscreen. You will also need to sign a waiver of liability, taking responsibility for yourself during the walk.
There are two tours being offered, Friday, April 25th (Arbor Day) and Saturday, April 26th, with a rain date of Sunday. Each day (Friday/Saturday) has a separate page for purchasing tickets. Friday’s tour is sold out.
