SUMMARY:"A Local Gem" Cummings Conservation Area Hike Series
DESCRIPTION:"A Local Gem" Discovering the Cummings Conservation Area\n\nThi
 s hike is part-1 of a 3-part series of interpretive guided hikes.\n\nSepte
 mber 21\, 2:30pm-4:30pm (rain date: 9/22) The first of these guided hikes 
 will begin along the Baily Brook cold-water stream and travel through the 
 cool shade of a hemlock glen before ascending over a glacial esker formed 
 at the end of the last ice age. We will view and discuss examples of nativ
 e plants\, cold-water fisheries\, glacial erratic boulders\, floodplain fo
 rests and the Otter River and its unique wetland ecology. Local naturalist
 s and historians Doug and Barbara Fleming will discuss the natural history
  of this special place and its unique geology and ecology. Doug will share
  his memories of this land from his time spent at his grandparents’ home
  on Bridge Street and will provide us with a personal perspective which wi
 ll capture our curiosity and leave us wanting to know more.\n\nOctober 26\
 , 2:30pm-4:30pm (rain date: 10/27) The next hike in this monthly\, 3-hike 
 series will focus on the O’Brien-Cummings family that owned this land fo

 er products with power produced from the Otter River.\n\nNovember 23\, 2:3
 0-4:30pm (rain date: 11/24) The third hike will explore the railroad that 
 cut through the middle of this property and discuss the impact and influen
 ce it had on the local people and how\, before cars and the modern highway
 s system\, it connected many small\, rural Massachusetts mill towns and fa
 rms to Boston and to places like the mountains\, lakes\, and oceans of Ups
 tate New York\, Vermont\, New Hampshire\, and Maine.\n\nThis event is co-s
