The Wellesley Trails Committee‘s annual Kids’ Trails Day drew 129 participants to the trails around Morses Pond on Sunday afternoon for a big treasure hunt topped with donut holes and cider.
The annual event, which which previously had been held at Longfellow Pond, sent kids and their adults seeking little treasure boxes containing ink stamps along the Pond trail and Pine Forest trail. Clues, in the form of rhymes, helped participants find the treasure boxes, hidden near landmarks such as trees once struck by lightening, a nest of pine cones and an empty hornets’ nest.
