Unseasonably warm weather will arrive in Massachusetts this weekend. Join us to enjoy the outdoors across the state. 

At Appleton Farms in Ipswich and Hamilton, celebrate International Women’s Day with us by attending the Women of Agriculture Hike. Women have shaped Appleton Farms for centuries: from Indigenous women who were the primary farmers and preservers of food, to Joan Appleton and her ancestors, to our current Trustees staff farmers. This weekend, also enjoy an Adult Maple Stroll at Appleton. 

Get out in nature. At World’s End in Hingham, join a Bird Walk, at Britland Park in Fall River, take a Nature Walk on the Quequechan, and at Ward Reservation in Andover, take a quiet walk to observe Woodcocks with Friends of Ward. 

Check out the Crane Estate in Ipswich this weekend! Join CraneOutdoors for a Sunset Hike to Cedar Point with Firepits, or the Castle Hill Hike. For a family-friendly outing, consider the CraneExplorers Winter Wildlife Walk. If you want to take things at your own pace, consider renting showshoes.
