SUMMARY:Fred's Nature Walk
DESCRIPTION:A Walk for Nature\, in Honor of Fred St. Ours\, Jr.\nLocation: Stetson Meadows\, 2 Meadow Farm Way\, Norwell\nSaturday\, November 8\n10:00am-12:00pm\nRain date: November 9\n \nIn 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.  \nFred 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. \nThe 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.  \nWe 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.  \nThe walk is open to all without a fee. Donations to NSRWA are welcome\, and 100% of all donations made will benefit NSRWA.  \nThrough 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.   \nPlease note\, this will be a pet-free event. \nREGISTER HERE. \nDonations may be made using the button below or brought on the day of the event. Checks should be made payable to NSRWA.

Indian Head Brook feeds into the Indian Head River which eventually feeds into the North River. Sleeper Conservation Area in Hanson and JJ Shepherd Memorial Forest in Pembroke are connected to the Alton Smith Reserve by a network of trails which include a part of the Bay Circuit trail. The restored wetlands and Indian Head Pond are a great location to see ducks\, great egrets\, great blue herons and occasional bald eagles. \nThe walk is on mostly flat dirt roads and woodland paths with slight elevation changes. \nWhile we love dogs. NSRWA’s walks are dog-free in consideration for all participants. Please leave your furry loved ones at home. \nDirections: Parking is available at Camp Kiwanee 460 Indian Head St in Hanson.
