Strengthening Land Trusts. Advancing Land Conservation.

Join ECCN and former Mount Auburn Cemetery President/Director of Horticulture Dave
Barnett for a walking tour of the cemetery. The walk will last 1-1.5 hours and will follow
paved roads with moderate hills--participants should be comfortable walking 2-3 miles.
The tour will cover some of the history of the cemetery and its horticultural management
practices. Come learn how the team at Mount Auburn balances aesthetic value and
ecologically-minded property stewardship.

This tour will visit the Pawtucket Farm Wildlife Sanctuary (PFWS) in Lowell, MA. PFWS is a collaboration between Lowell Parks & Conservation, Mass Audubon, and Mill City Grows. Participants will get to walk the 22-acre former Christmas tree farm and see the implementation of community-based visioning and planning, including recently completed All Persons Trail and an outdoor classroom under construction.
