ReplyDeleteTo the Vernal Pond! Join BSKO Sunday for a trip back to Arlinton's Great
Meadows and the vernal pond. Our last visit in Fall found the pond dry and lifeless. With the forecast rain, we just see early signs of Spring and may even see some salamdars heading back to the pond.
Directions: Meet Sunday at 1:30 behind the Waldorf School in Lexington
(739 Massachusetts Ave, Lexington, MA 02420). Park on Mass Ave or in the Waldorf parking lot.
There's a play area behind the school where we will meet.
