SUMMARY:Wild Edibles of Lexington’s Waysides
DESCRIPTION:(Rescheduled from June 14 due to rain forecast.) Once again\, CLC is delighted to have Russ Cohen return for another walk to teach us about wild edible plants! Lexington is home to over 70 species of edible wild plants\, both native and non-native\, including plants considered to be weedy or invasive. Some are more nutritious and/or flavorful than their cultivated counterparts. Join Russ Cohen\, expert forager and author of Wild Plants I Have Known…and Eaten\, on a two-hour ramble in and around Lincoln Park to learn about at least eighteen edible species. Russ will present information on identification tips\, edible portion(s)\, season(s) of availability and preparation methods\, as well as general guidelines for safe and environmentally-responsible foraging. Steady rain cancels. Meet at the Lincoln Park Fitness Trail entrance at the crosswalk on Worthen Road across from the Lexington High playing fields. \nLeader: Russ Cohen ~ 781-646-7489\, eatwild@rcn.com

SUMMARY:Woodcock Walk at Dunback Meadow
DESCRIPTION:Join us on a search for the elusive American woodcock\, whose unusual mating behavior provides a rare opportunity to observe this species. In early spring\, woodcocks can be found in wet meadows performing their courtship ritual. We will listen for the male’s distinctive “peent” call while on the ground and then his “wing twitter” as he spirals upward. He will then zigzag back down toward the ground while giving his flight song. This display is repeated\, so if we are lucky we will see quite a show. Meet at the Allen St. entrance to Dunback meadow. Be sure to dress in layers and bring binoculars. REGISTRATION REQUIRED (See below). \nRain Date March 24\, 6:30-8 pm; If conditions are uncertain\, please check the CLC website at clclex.org. \nLeader: Dianna Queheillalt\, clclexington8@gmail.com \n  \nFill out my online form.

SUMMARY:Lexington Living Landscapes’ Open Gardens Day
DESCRIPTION:Come\, Meet\, and Learn from Other Lexington Gardeners. \n  \nMore and more homeowners are embracing landscaping that emphasizes native plants and organic methods to create more wildlife- and people-friendly yards. Are you curious to see what other gardeners have done? Stop by any of multiple locations to see the many forms a pollinator garden can take or learn what alternatives to the traditional lawn fellow residents have tried. \nThe homeowners involved are generously opening their yards to visitors in the hopes that you’ll see something that will help or inspire you in your own landscaping\, and to learn from you as well. Many are works in progress. The gardens vary in how long they’ve been established\, how much time the homeowner has invested in them\, what the homeowner is trying to accomplish\, and whether the garden has been professionally designed and installed or is a do-it-yourself project. \nEach of the participating gardens will be open to visitors during one of two time windows during the day. Visit as many or as few as you wish. No ticket or pre-registration is needed. \nA detailed schedule and map of participating properties will be available by Labor Day at www.lexingtonlivinglandscapes.org.
