[SEMCO] Massachusetts Chapter Sierra Club ecological outing at Lyman Reserve

[Christopher F Polloni]

The Massachusetts Chapter of the Sierra Club and the Cape Cod Group is
sponsoring an ecological hike to explore the Lyman Reserve which is managed
by the Trustees of Reservations on the edge of Cape Cod, May 7, 10 am –
noon.

Walk along the restored Red Brook, once bordered by cranberry bogs but now
a thriving naturalized river that contains one of the region's last
populations of sea run brook trout. Learn about the history of this
spectacular 210-acre property and about the ecology of Red Brook and its
adjoining estuary. Those with binoculars will be treated to some early
spring migrant birds. Be prepared with boots to walk through damp spots
near the river. Led by biologist Chris Neill.  For more information on the
Lyman Reserve go to the web site at:

From Route 25, get off at exit 2 (to Buzzards Bay, Bourne) just north of
the Bourne Bridge on the Cape Cod Canal. Bear right off ramp and take an
immediate right onto Head of the Bay Road. Follow for approximately three
miles around the eastern and northern shores of Buttermilk Bay. Parking lot
entrance is about 250 feet beyond Packard Street on right.

From the Cape or from the Bourne Bridge, get on Route 6 (Cranberry Highway)
going W. towards Wareham. After about 2 miles (after crossing inlet to
Buttermilk Bay), make a right on Head of the Bay Road. The preserve parking
