Celebrate the Winter Solstice

The Winter Solstice is the day on which the midday sun is at its lowest point in the sky. The solstices mark key turning points in the year and throughout history have been celebrated by many cultures. The Winter Solstice marks the shortest day (and the longest night) of the year. Join Boot Boutwell in celebrating the Winter Solstice a day early with a walk through Greenways Conservation Area in Wayland on Sunday, December 20, to enjoy the beauty of nature as winter approaches. As usual, the focus of the walk will be on plant ID and natural history, but the program will also celebrate the solstice season with plenty of solstice history and lore, poetry, and even a solstice story.
