Day Before Thanksgiving Walk

The fifth annual Day Before Thanksgiving Walk will take place Wednesday, November 23rd at 2 p.m. at Thanksgiving Forest in Chelmsford.  This popular family event is the first event created by the Chelmsford Open Space Stewardship to help build awareness of our town’s open space sites. 

Participants need to gather at the Janet Road entrance to Thanksgiving Forest by 2 p.m. to take part in a guided one mile walk through the woods to a well-known natural rock outcropping.  There, you can enjoy a fire, cookies and hot chocolate as well as some local history by historian Becky Warren.  This year, Boy Scout Troop 74 is helping to sponsor the event. 

People who need to take advantage of an easy shortcut can meet at the Gary Road entrance to the Forest at 2:15 p.m.  Please dress for weather and wear proper shoes for being out in the woods.  The walk will take place rain or shine (unless it’s a downpour.)  The event is free and everyone is welcome.  For more information, contact Joanne Stanway at jstanway@comcast.net or 978-273-1473.
