Walden Woods Outing

  • Walk through some of Thoreau’s favorite ‘berrying’ grounds, climb Pine Hill, and discover the many acres of Walden Woods.
  • Take a closer look as you explore the ecosystem that surrounds and supports Walden Pond, with a particular focus on the environmental history of the area.

Optional Extension: Groups may wish to spend some quiet time journaling and reflecting, or having lunch on the Thoreau Institute grounds. Consider pairing this outing with the Thoreau Gallery Talk.

Time Frame: 1 hour
Meeting Point: Directions will be sent once reservation is confirmed.
