Join us for St. Pat's Themed Open Hours Mar 12 & 13

We've enjoyed opening the grounds to families and friends this winter for open hours to enjoy self-guided walks. This month we will beef things up a bit, collaborating with Sustainable Milton and offering some fun St. Patrick's Day STEM and science activities for our visitors, along with a hot chocolate station, a chance to "adopt an acorn" and visit the animals. Bundle up and come out to enjoy a fun weekend visit and refreshing walk on Saturday or Sunday, March 12 and 13, 11:00 am - 3:00 pm. Registration is not required and admission is free, but suggested donations of $5 per visitor are appreciated.
Subject to cancellation due to weather or COVID complications; see www.wakefieldtrust.org or our Facebook page for any last-minute changes. For more information, call 617-333-0924 x 22.
