Hike Boston - Ranger Led Hike

Boston Park Rangers, Urban Wilds staff, or Parks employees will provide formal and informal discussions or tours during the hikes. Some hikes may be more focused on taking a walk in the park, while others may be more informational.

"Walk the Waterways" Program.

Starting Location: JP boat house  Ending Location: BBF Rose Garden Description: This tour will explore the evolution of the Emerald  Necklace from a patch work of farm land, indigenous lands and swamps to the parks we see and use today. We'll also be highlighting the local flora and fauna in these parks as well.  The rain date for this event will be the following day 8/24/24 with the same start/end location and times.

Topics and routes will vary depending on the location. Rangers will provide information on the natural and cultural history of the park throughout the walk or hike. These tours are offered in many areas of the city, including; Franklin Park, Jamaica Pond and Olmsted Park, The Back Bay Fens, and the Boston Common.
