Enjoy the trails of Lincoln on two occasions this weekend.
Land Stewardship Day
The Lincoln Conservation Commission and the Lincoln Land Conservation Trust are having a trail and land improvement day on Saturday, October 5. We know how busy people are at this time of the year and so there will be activities from 9:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. If you can only stop by for an hour or two, that would be a huge help. If you can stay longer or even all day, that would be fabulous.
We will gather at the Codman North Field on Codman Road. Please go into the Codman House entrance (west of Codman Farm) and go to the left to park. This location is adjacent to the alpaca field. Light snacks will be provided.
Work will be along field edges and trails in the woods. Dress accordingly. Please bring gloves, loppers, rakes or shovels. For more information, please contact the Conservation Department at 781-259-2612 or Peter von Mertens at 781-259-8942.
History hike in Adams Woods
Join the Lincoln Historical Society and Jason Felsch of the Lincoln Junior Hikers as he leads a “history hike” through Adams Woods starting from 126 Old Concord Road on Sunday, October 6 at 2 p.m. A map and essay are attached. Free and open to the public.
The hike will be about about 2½ miles round trip with breaks along the way. The walk will probably take about two hours, but families can go at their own pace. Parents are responsible for the supervision of their children.
To get to our trail head, go to the intersection of Route 126 (Concord Road) with Old Concord Road located 0.2 miles northeast of Codman Road. Turn left (northwest) onto Old Concord Road and follow its curve 0.2 miles. Turn left to go northwest onto a private way marked with a roadside sign. Kind private residents have given us permission to park for today only at their home at 126 Old Concord Road, the site of the former Burnham-Adams mansion. Please be courteous and do not to block the way.
