Join the Boston Conservation Committee on Tuesday, November 24th at 7:00pm for a conversation with Heather Clish, AMC's Senior Director of Conservation & Recreation Policy. We will be discussing AMC's conservation priorities post-election and what members can do to help their legislative efforts. This event is open to attendees from any AMC chapter, although some of the discussion will focus on Massachusetts-specific goals.
What's the wild, wild west really look like? Come listen to Lei Wang, a former AMC member who recently moved from Boston to Seattle, talk about hidden gems of the west and how the outdoor lifestyle compares to that on the east coast. You will see that there's more to Seattle than rain and more to hiking than Rainier! Come learn about some fun outdoor places to explore once we can travel again!
Registration is required and a Zoom link will be emailed to you. The presentation will start promptly at 7:30 followed by Q&A.
Let's get out for a hike in the woods to change up a little bit. 5-6 mile hike. Leaders choice. Meeting place and time will be sent out prior to the hike to all registered particpants.
Join us for an 8-mile loop hike in the Blue Hills to burn off some Thanksgiving calories and cure the cabin fever!
