NRWA Walk At Surrenden Farm Saturday; Oxbow in Harvard On Deck

The Nashua River Watershed Association will lead a guided trail walk at the General Fields and Surrenden Farm in Groton on Sunday, November 4, from 1:00 to 2:00 p.m. Stacey Chilcoat, NRWA’s River Classroom Director, will be leading the walk and providing “naturalist observations” about what can be seen at this property. The trail walk will last approximately one hour and cover roughly two miles. The walk will proceed in a light rain, but not a heavy storm.

This guided trail walk, one in a series of eleven hikes in eleven different communities, is part of NRWA’s Outdoor Wellness Walking Program. The trail walks are intended to introduce people to properties in their area where they can walk for exercise.
