[SEMCO] Cape Cod Group ecological hike

[Christopher F Polloni]

The Massachusetts Chapter of the Sierra Club and the Cape Cod Group is 
sponsoring an ecological hike led by biologist Chris Neill to explore the 
Lyman Reserve which is managed by the Trustees of Reservations on the edge 
of Cape Cod, Saturday, October 22, 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 may be treated to some late fall 
migrant birds. Be prepared with boots to walk through damp spots near the 
river. For more information on the Lyman Reserve go to the web site at:
