Weekender August 29-30 

August may be ending, but fun at The Trustees is only just beginning! Join us this weekend to soak up the last of summer. 

The end of this month coincides with August’s full moon! Experience properties by the light of the moon by joining guided hikes. Join Ranger Robert for a guided Full Moon Hike at Bartholomew’s Cobble in Sheffield, a 1.5-hour evening adventure following the tractor path to the top of Hurlburt’s Hill. Stay after the gates close at World’s End in Hingham for an hour-long guided hike to the top of Planter’s Hill and back. Or, take a full moon hike in the dunes at Crane Beach in Ipswich (family friendly). 

It’s the perfect weekend to spend time in the city! Discover a rare Massachusetts native fruit, the Beach Plum, at City Natives in Mattapan. Grown in coastal areas of MA, City Natives hosts two large productive bushes. Head to Leatherbee Woods in West Roxbury for Urban Wild Trackers. The group meets twice a month and invites you to get outside and pay attention to what’s happening in the landscape. 

Find a new place to love through a special weekend happening! Visit Moraine Farm in Beverly for a Guided Landscape Tour, take in the Annual Fruitlands Kite Festival at Fruitlands Museum in Harvard, attend a Cut Flowers workshop at Stevens-Coolidge House and Gardens in North Andover, or a Flower Pressing and Herbarium Workshop at The Old Manse in Concord. Oh, and don’t forget to take a tour!
