Friends of Alewife Reservation (FAR)

First Parish Cambridge Trip to Alewife Reservation, March 23

The Sunday School program from First Parish in Cambridge visited the Alewife Reservation on March 23rd. Twelve children ages 4-12 and 14 adults experienced this urban wild for the first time on a guided hike sponsored by the Friends of Alewife Reservation (FAR). Dave Brown, FAR naturalist led us along the north side of the Little River and pointed out signs of animal activity. We encountered lots of rabbit and coyote scat showing that the cycle of life is present at Alewife. Parents particularly appreciated learning how to tell the difference between whether a rabbit or a deer is eating the plants in their yard. We all enjoyed being outside and learned so much. Thank you to Dave and FAR!
