Start your weekend with a peaceful morning in the woods. Every Saturday at 9 am, WildFlowers Park in Melrose welcomes you to join a free guided nature walk along the Quest Ecology Trail. It’s a gentle, refreshing way to enjoy the outdoors, learn about the landscape, and spend time in a beautiful, shaded environment.
Each week, we’ll feature guest guides who bring their own knowledge, stories, and perspectives about the land, wildlife, and ecology. The Trail has recently been updated to include a wider variety of ecosystems and several shorter loop options, making it enjoyable for all ages and abilities.
Right now, wildflowers are blooming beautifully, and wildlife is active throughout the day. It’s an ideal moment to explore the woods and experience the changing season.
