Get ready for an all-day hike of Walden Woods with Ed Schofield, Ph.D. The tour will focus on the boundaries of the "Walden Ecosystem"--Walden Pond, Walden Woods, Baker Farm, and outliers--from an ecological perspective. Slides and documents (primarily maps) will be provided, as well as an afternoon lunch for up to 4 people at the Thoreau Society provided by Mike Frederick.

At an additional charge (for expenses only), Ed recommends taking a train ride from Lincoln to the Concord Depot for a minimal fee, along the Boston/Fitchburg line that was built the year before Thoreau moved to Walden Pond in 1845. Ed also recommends chartering a small boat on the Concord/Sudbury River. The high bidder will discuss these arrangements with the donor.
