Would you like to start the day observing nature in Turners Falls? Morning Nature Walk is an early morning nature amble over paved bike trails and village sidewalks. Walks are designed to be short but interesting, usually lasting about 90 minutes, never more than about 2 miles over level pavement.
Participants will meet at the bird bath outside the main entrance to the Discovery Center, 2 Avenue A, Turners Falls, Mass., at 7:30 a.m. Morning Nature Walk topics may include "Wing and Water," informal birding and observation of water foul activity in Unity Park/Barton Cove; "Riverwatch," an early-morning exploration of the Connecticut River, Barton Cove, and the power canal; "Fern-tastic," fern identification and photography along the bike path; or "Byways and Backways," an exploration of nature found along Turners Falls side streets and alleys.
