About Jeff: Jeff is an avid outdoor enthusiast & naturalist who’s been enjoying the natural world for 50 years. He’s a member of the Friends of the Fells, The Trustees, Mass Audubon, Sudbury Valley Trustees, Acton Conservation Trust, Arlington Land Trust, Essex Greenbelt, Massachusetts Association of Conservation Commissions, Wells Reserve at Laudholm Farm, Lincoln Land Conservation Trust / Rural Land Foundation, Osher Lifelong Learning Institute at Tufts University and The Massachusetts Archaeological Society, Inc. He and his wife, Carol Andrulli, have been hiking in the Fells for over 30 years & frequently participate in numerous hiking/nature programs.

About the hike: Spring has arrived. During our walk around Bellevue Pond and the surrounding area, including Wright’s Tower, we’ll focus on Plant ID using identification characteristics such as branching patterns, buds, leaf scars, galls, odor, touch and overall shape. We’ll also discuss some select natural history, folklore and science. Finally, we’ll look and listen for signs of Spring.

We will meet at the Bellevue Pond Parking Lot across from 70 South Border Road.
