5 Weekend Events Near Hingham MA
Brought to you by Hingham Realtor® Alice Pierce.1) Tracking: Footprint Mysteries And Telltale Signs
Join in on the fun with Naturalist Doug Lowry at the North Hill Marsh Wildlife Sanctuary, Mayflower Street in Duxbury for a morning of animal tracking and learning. You will be amazed to learn what activity goes on, whether the creatures are big or small. Each set of prints tells a story about the individual species, how it gathers food, where it forages and caches and how it moves around. Like detectives, you will learn how to identify tracks and follow their stories. Meet at the North Hill Marsh Sanctuary main parking lot on Mayflower Street in Duxbury. This event is great for the whole family, and for kids ages 10 through 18 years old. The cost to participate in the learning adventure is $12 for adult members and $8 for child members, or nonmember adults are $15 and children $11.
