Autumn Watershed Walk
Sat, Oct 25, 2025, 10:00 – 2:00 pm
Come out and enjoy Autumn in the forest on the new land gifted to our organization by Norman Mease. The walk will be led by botanist and naturalist, John Parrish, Vice President of Friends of Ten Mile Creek. John shares the extensive breadth and depth of his knowledge of the area’s flora and fauna in a way that makes it enjoyable and accessible to all. We’ll enjoy the fall colors and learn about the watershed’s common and not-so-common trees and likely see the witch-hazel in bloom, the last flowering tree of the season.
We will meet at the Cinque Farm at 22300 Slidell Rd, Boyds, MD 20841 at 10am. Jay Cinque will take us on a tractor-pulled hay wagon ride to the beginning of our walk. We anticipate exploring for about 2 1/2 hours, mostly on natural surface trails, before returning to the farm. This will be a relaxing walk to see the upland and bottomland forests, and of course the Ten Mile Creek. We will take time to sit and enjoy a snack, amidst the sights and sounds of the forest. Jay will give us a hay wagon ride back to the Cinque Farm for refreshments and socializing.
Bring water, a snack, and appropriate footwear.
The walk will take place Rain or Shine.
Light rain OK. Hurricane, no way.
