Fred's Nature Walk

A Walk for Nature, in Honor of Fred St. Ours, Jr.
Location: Stetson Meadows, 2 Meadow Farm Way, Norwell
Saturday, November 8
10:00am-2:00pm
Rain date: November 9

In the forested land and waters near his home, Fred St. Ours. Jr. found a “playground” that suited his boundless curiosity. Exploring by foot, bike and canoe, Fred found joy in studying and photographing nature, especially his favored dragonflies. He became a local expert on wild mushrooms, leading foraging walks and lectures on the subject. He earned a B.S. in biology, with studies in Marine Science, and an M.S. with a concentration in entomology. His research took him from Costa Rica to Jamaica and beyond, but his local playground was a lasting fascination, and his passion to protect it spurred his membership on the NSRWA board. 

Fred loved to invite others to his playground, and it is in this spirit that the St Ours Family and NSRWA invite you to join us in a walk in Fred’s honor and to support the watershed that he loved to play in and share with others. Led by NSRWA staff members Kezia Bacon and Brian Taylor, we’ll walk trails within Stetson Meadows as we contemplate the history and nature of a place of special significance to the St Ours family.

The walk will include a loop of approximately 1.5 miles of varying terrain. A second loop, of approximately the same length, will be offered to those who wish to continue the walk. 

We hope Fred’s spirit of curiosity and appreciation of nature will inspire you to join us in this beautiful playground and to spread his passion and support for conserving our natural treasures. 

The walk is open to all without a fee. Donations to NSRWA are welcome, and 100% of all donations made will benefit NSRWA. 

Through the generosity of the St Ours Family, walk registrants who donate $50.00 or more will receive a specially designed Walk for Nature t-shirt.  

Please note, this will be a pet-free event.
