  1. Trustees hike: Lowell Holly

    I recently visited Trustees of Reservations property Lowell Holly in Mashpee and Sandwich, MA, on Cape Cod. It’s a pleasant hike with lots to enjoy. Lowell Holly abuts Wakeby Pond and Mashpee Pond. There are beaches on both ponds along the trails that you can take advantage of, weather-permitting. Also, the ponds are apparently good for fishing. The connected trails provided by the Trustees are a bit over 3 miles of walking. It’s worth doing all of them, especially the trail to Conaumet […]

  6. Trustees hike: Doyle Community Farm

    I recently visited Trustees of Reservations Doyle Community Park in Leominster, MA, https://thetrustees.org/place/doyle-community-park/. The website’s tag-line for Doyle, “Meander along trails that pass through woodlands, fields, and gardens, all parts of an elegant former estate,” is accurate, but it doesn’t mention what I personally think is the best feature of this property, a pond with benches next to it you can sit on and listen to the birds and bullfrogs. Worth mentioning: Some […]

  16. Trustees hike: Charles River Peninsula

    On July 11, I visited the #TrusteesOfReservations property #CharlesRiverPeninsula <thetrustees.org/place/charles-> in #NeedhamMA. It’s a lovely property which I recommend. It’s an easy hike, almost entirely flat, and there is a good amount of interesting stuff to see.

  21. P.S. In contrast to The Trustees of Reservations, this is what it looks like when an organization that actually knows how to manage and treat its membership tells you that your membership is about to renew. #TheTrustees #TrusteesOfReservations #MassAudubon #charities #nonprofits

  26. Trustees of Reservations doesn’t know how to treat members or fully maintain their properties

    They don't respond to emails, phone messages, or paper letters, and they don't maintain the trail markings or signage at their properties.

  31. I appreciate that The Trustees of Reservations exists, and I appreciate the work they do to safeguard nature and historic sites throughout Massachusetts.

    But I’m just so tired of how badly run their membership program is, of how poorly they treat members, and of the half-assed job they do on some basic maintenance tasks. So much so, in fact, that I’m probably going to cancel my membership the next time it comes up for renewal.

  36. We seem to have done everything needed to prepare for my mom's funeral and shiva, at least for now, so I'm going to fill some of the time catching up on posting about my trips to #TrusteesOfReservations properties.
    On June 6, I hiked Signal Hill in #CantonMA <thetrustees.org/place/signal-h>. It's a small reservation and an easy hike, not one of the more dramatic Trustees properties, but still enjoyable and interesting if you pay attention.

  41. List of #BostonMA #CommunityGardens

    "Our 56 community gardens —totaling 15 acres across eight Boston neighborhoods—are tended and cared for by local residents. These oases of green are sources of neighborhood pride that connect people and place. They turn neighbors into friends, strengthen family bonds and traditions, and inspire joy in the shared work of growing fresh, healthy, and delicious food."

  46. Because I had such a wonderful time on yesterday's morning outing (federate.social/@jik/116913389), the gods have proclaimed that #today I would have the opposite experience.
    This morning I visited the Eleanor Cabot Bradley Estate, a #TrusteesOfReservations property in #CantonMA. It was a disappointment.
    Executive summary: IMO the only thing this property has going for it is location, so choose another Trustees property unless this one is really convenient.

  51. I like to post about the #TrusteesOfReservations properties I visit in order, and I'm a bit behind on posting them, but the property I visited this morning to get in some early exercise before work, #ChestnutHillFarm, was just so _charming_ that I want to squee about it immediately.
    If you're looking for an easy but thoroughly enjoyable hike within a half hour of Boston, this is a great choice.

  56. And last but not least #AppletonFarms. ProTip: if you show up at Appleton Farms a half hour before sunset there really isn't much to do or see except, I guess, to walk the trails and maybe catch a glimpse of some cows. And there are a LOT of trails, it's a BIG farm.
    As proof that I was there, I give you some cows and a really impressive vernal pool.
