NSRWA Walking Club
Knapp Town Forest/North Hill Marsh in Duxbury
Saturday, October 11
10:00-11:30am

Join guest host Doug Lowry as we explore Knapp Town Forest and North Hill Marsh Sanctuary in Duxbury on Saturday, October 11 from 10:00-11:30am. Doug is a senior teacher naturalist for Mass Audubon with extensive knowledge of local conservation lands around the South Shore. One of his many passions is to connect people with the natural world around us and to share insights into what is happening seasonally in nature. As always, his walks are fun and full of insights and humor.

Knapp Town Forest and North Hill Marsh are located within Duxbury’s 1000-acre greenbelt. The sanctuary itself is about 146 acres, 90 of which are a pond and wetland surrounded by an oak and pine forest. You can often find different species of ducks, great blue herons, kingfishers and tree swallows around the pond. It is also a great place to look for salamanders, frogs and turtles. The 80-acre Knapp Town Forest surrounds the sanctuary with many interconnected trails. All trails throughout the greenbelt are maintained by the Town of Duxbury.

Plan on a walk over forest trails with varying elevation changes.

While we love dogs. NSRWA’s walks are dog-free in consideration for all participants. Please leave your furry loved ones at home.

Directions: Parking is available behind Duxbury Town Hall, 878 Tremont St (Rt. 3A) in Duxbury. Look for the NSRWA Event sign.
