2015 Riverfest Weekend

Join the Framingham Conservation Commission for a nature/discovery walk “ambling down the river” on the Carol Getchell Trail or for exploring the Cochituate Rail Trail on Saturday, June 20 as part of Riverfest!

Nature/Discovery Walk: Join the Framingham Conservation Commission “ambling down the river” on the Carol Getchell Trail at 10 a.m.

Look for tracks and emerging plants along the banks of the Sudbury River as spring turns toward summer. Meet at the end of Little Farms Road. Members of the Friends of Saxonville will join us for a water stop at the Old Danforth Street Bridge. Some may wish to walk into Saxonville and learn some of the history of the village. The rest will retrace their steps along the trail. Dogs welcome but must be leashed.

Explore the Cochituate: Join the Framingham Conservation Commission for a walk along the new Cochituate Rail Trail, branching off into Cochituate Brook Reservation and out to the shores of the North Pond of Lake Cochituate State Park at 2 p.m.

Explore Cochituate Brook, a tributary of the Sudbury River and enjoy the transformed rail bed and the nature of the Reservation. Wear proper footwear for this longer walk. Dogs welcome but must be leashed.
