"Stick Season"
Guided Walk @ Hewitt's Pond 
 
Saturday, Nov. 7
 10:00-11:30
 
Calling all Noah Kahan fans! Join the library and the Taunton River Watershed Alliance for a guided walk at Hewitt's Pond Preserve during "stick season."
 
As we journey down the 1.4-mile path, we’ll discuss how various local wildlife species prepare for the winter months ahead, and how we can take a page out of Mother Nature’s book to adopt cozy practices for a well-weathered winter ahead.
 
We’ll wrap up the walk at the trailhead with hot cocoa, conversation, and, of course, the Stick Season album! This walk is led by Abby from the Taunton River Watershed Alliance (TRWA).
