Conservationists Honored at Annual Meeting
During our 2025 Annual Meeting, SVT recognized several area volunteers, public officials, and other conservationists with our Annual Conservation Awards. We also presented the inaugural Trailblazer for Inclusion in the Outdoors Award.
Get Outside with SVT!
The cooler days of autumn offer a great time to explore a local trail or volunteer to help care for a conservation area. Plus, SVT is also planning lots of interesting new nature programs for the coming months: hikes, owls, mushrooms, poetry, books, crochet. . . there's something for everyone!
Birding at Greenways
On Saturday, October 18, join SVT and the Boston Birding Festival for an 8:00 a.m. bird watch at Greenways Conservation Area in Wayland. With its woodlands, wetlands, and fields, Greenways is a very "birdy" spot. New birders welcome. Register through our Program Calendar.
All Persons' Trail: Phase 1 Open!
On Thursday, July 24, state and local officials helped SVT cut the "ribbon" on the Farm Path and Picnic Grove portion of our accessible All Persons' Trail at Wolbach Farm. Phase 1 of the trail is now open for everyone to enjoy!
