Go on guided hike of North 40 in Wellesley

September 14, 2026 by admin

Date/time: Friday, Sept. 18, 10am-11:15am

Location: Meet on Turner Road near the vernal pool, which is near the Weston Road end of the street.

Organizer: Wellesley Trails Committee

The North 40 offers a wide range of interesting sites and history. You will see a vernal pool, 500-foot-long boardwalk, community gardens, the aqueduct, a huge and unique seedling tree and more. You will also learn of the Crosstown Trail, of which the North 40 is a section.

No registration required and all walks are free. Walks take place unless it pours rain and there are high winds.  Participants are encouraged to wear sturdy footwear.

This walk will be a good preview for the Oct. 1 town forum on the future of the North 40.
