Turtle Trek - Mill Pond ESA in Dorchester

We will meet at the dam beside the Frozen Cow Ice Cream shop, talk about turtles then walk the complete 3.3km long trail loop. The time it takes to hike the whole trail depends on how many turtles we see. Free street parking is available on Mill Rd. Please wear appropriate clothing and footwear. This hike will be on uneven terrain and is not wheelchair accessible. Please download iNaturalist in advance to be ready to make observations for the Great Canadian BioBlitz! You will have to "Join" the project for your observations to count in the event - "The Great Canadian BioBlitz 2026".
