Thursday August 14, 6:30 A Botanical Exploration Along the Sudbury River with Neela de Zoysa
Join us for a lecture on the Sudbury River by local botanist Neela de Zoysa on August 14th!
Neela will introduce us to the signature ferns, shrubs, trees, and wildflowers of these riverine habitats along the important Sudbury River, which forms much of the eastern boundary of the Town of Sudbury. From blueberries to buttonbushes, from dogwoods to willows, and everything in between, Neela will guide us on this fascinating glimpse into the natural landscape of Sudbury, as well as touching on the Atlantic Cedar Swamps of Westborough and its merging with the Assabet River to form the Concord River as it flows into the mighty Merrimack River in Lowell.
Open NowSudbury's Changing Landscape Part 2
The new exhibit 'Sudbury‘s Changing Landscape Part 2' continues our exploration of Sudbury's landscape with the story from after the Revolutionary War up to the present day. Sudbury is home to many wonderful conservation lands and historic landscapes. Organizations like Sudbury Valley Trustees, Sudbury Conservation Commission, and Sustainable Sudbury are working hard to protect and preserve the natural countryside.
