Love is in the air this weekend! Grab your sweetheart, your gal pals, your family, or show yourself some love by joining us this weekend and spending time in at our Trustees’ special places. 

Celebrate Galentine’s Day with us! Starting at Weir River Farm in Hingham, join Trustees staff for an easy hike along the Orange Loop, which cuts through Weir River Farm and parts of Whitney and Thayer Woods. Enjoy the crisp winter air while strolling through Weir River Farm’s beautiful English woodlands and connect with other women who enjoy nature.  

In the mood for something sweet? Maple season is here! At Appleton Farms in Ipswich and Hamilton, join an Adult Maple Stroll and visit the historic maple stand and sugar shack, learning all about maple sugaring, its history at the farm and in New England, and how you can try your hand at it at home. Have kids in tow? Join the Children’s Maple in the Barnyard. This special program for ages 3-11 and their families will focus on the magic of maple from start to finish. We will discover this tradition by observing trees, tasting sap, learning the tools involved, and tasting the sweet product. 

Want to stay healthy this year, boost your immune system, and learn natural ways to prevent colds and the flu?
