Join Josh Rose and Sam McGullam as we search for fall migrants among the fields and hedgerows surrounding this working CSA farm in Franklin County. We’ll be on the lookout for sparrows, fall warblers, and raptors; the farm has also been known to host some impressive flocks of ravens. Plan on walking up to 2 miles along mostly flat dirt roads and grass paths between farm fields that may be rutted with uneven footing. Depending on the weather, there may be mud or wet grass. If rest stops are needed, there are two picnic tables near the community garden and one small bench by the pollinator garden. Meet at Just Roots Community Farm at 34 Glenbrook Dr in Greenfield. Follow the signs for CSA parking, pass the large red barn on your right, and park in the large dirt lot by the greenhouse down the hill. There is a porta-potty in the parking lot and by the community garden. Questions? Contact Sam at sam.mcgullam@gmail.com. Limited to 12 participants. (E/M)
