From 9am-11am, friends of the Hoosic River Greenway will lead guided walks focusing on the plants and animals of the Greenway. Meet at the old water works off Carey Avenue at 9 a.m. for your own guided tour of: early songbirds; or waterfowl; or common early wildflowers, shrubs, and trees. (The plant walk will include an introduction to wild edibles, and samples of dishes made from one or two wild edible species.) Bring binoculars if you have them. Some hand lenses will be provided for would-be botanists. The event is free and open to everyone.
