The second is a walk to work with grass and sedge species on the Reservation. Pamela Hart, noted Cambridge landscape specialist with deep botanical knowledge, will be guiding a tour of the Friends of Alewife Reservation Native Garden. Pamela helped plan, design, and plant this garden for FAR. The native plants are ecologically important to the Reservation’s environment, attracting wildlife of every size. They make a beautiful entry from the Alewife T Station into the Reservation and new Stormwater/Wetland marshes. Join us as Pamela describes the plants and their relationships with the urban wild next door.

Botanist Walter Kittredge is conducting a region-wide herbarium project to bring attention to the local New England flora, its presence and value, and is looking closely at vegetation at Alewife Reservation. Walter is Senior Curatorial Assistant at the Harvard University Herbaria, a world- wide research collection of over 5 million dried plant specimens. Participants will meet at the Alewife Brook parking lot at Cambridge Discovery Park at 100 Acorn Park Drive in Cambridge.
