            Zaremba, who has a Ph D. in Botany from UMass Amherst, completed
a plant survey last year for the Harwich Conservation Trust's 60 acre
conservation area off Bank Street in Harwich. 274 species of plants were
identified in the bogs, which are at different stages of natural succession.
81% of the plants found were native, including two rare state-listed
species. The area has an unusual display of native grasses, not commonly
found in such abundance in one place. The walk is FREE and sponsored by the
Harwich Conservation Trust.  508-432-3997 www.harwichconservationtrust.org
