On March 26th PCT hosted a guided walk of Old Pascommuck as well as the Mount Tom North Trailhead as part of the Mass Land Trust coalitions annual meeting. And on May 4th Marty Klein and Tom Lautzenheiser gave a guided tour of the Dwyer conservation area that was attended by 14 participants.
Below is a link to a number of resources sent to us from a representative from Stop Nature Deficit Disorder (website link – Stopndd.org). The document lists a number of resource links to various activities to keep your children busy outside and connecting with nature during these trying times.

A PCT member who recently encountered a birder at the Old Trolley Line Conservation area was told that the conservation area was just recently made a hot spot on ebird, so more lists will start getting added. Here is the direct link and the species that have been recorded specifically so far.
