Morses Pond Kids Trails Day rewards ‘hardy New Englanders’

The Wellesley Trails Committee this past weekend celebrated another successful Kids Trails Day, this year in the woods at Morses Pond.

Despite the rain, the event had a nice turnout that the Committee’s Joan Gaughan described as “a tribute to hardy New Englanders!” Kids, accompanied by adults, got into nature and searched for treasure boxes using written clues.

The Committee thanks Whole Foods for donating cider and donuts, and the Wellesley High School Key Club (and Wellesley Trails Committee members) for helping to make the activity possible.

Next up on the Trails Committee’s event schedule:

Sudbury Path & Needham Aqueduct Trail walk

Saturday, Sept. 28 (10-11:15 a.m.) – 2.4 miles

Explore the trails that loop around Babson and Olin Colleges along the Sudbury Path and the town border between Wellesley and Needham. A highlight is a visit to the restored Babson World Globe, constructed in 1955 and still the world’s second largest revolving globe. Meet at Babson Skating Rink parking lot (southwest corner), 150 Great Plain Ave., Wellesley.
