Birding the Bioreserve with Lynn Abbey 
This group meets EVERY Tuesday. 
As one of the largest unfragmented forests in eastern Massachusetts, the Bioreserve protects a special ecosystem that provides habitat for countless wildlife species. Nearly 100 birds breed among the Bioreserve’s deep forests, rare Atlantic white cedar swamps, and clear freshwater ponds and streams.
Contact Lynn for the meeting place and time. 774-488-4096 (text only) or email her at osprey1170@aol.com
