Bolton Conservation Commission's Earth Day Family Celebration with the Sixth Annual Fairy House Building Contest and a Wildflower Walk

April 23, 2022
10:00 am to 12:00 pm
Freja Park

On Saturday, April 23rd, meet at the Bolton Commuter at 10:00 AM (Rt 6/44 across from Georgina’s Pizza).

Hike to beautiful Freja Park and enjoy the Sixth Annual Fairy House Building Contest followed by an Ephemeral Wildflower Walk led by Leslie Alexander concluding with a tree planting and Freja park volunteer recognition.

Join an Entry Level Fairy House Building Workshop and win a prize for the most uniquely built Fairy House!  Adults, boys, and girls of all ages are invited to build miniature shelters. Bring your imagination, creativity, and love of nature to Freja Park.

Led by Leslie Alexander, participants on the Wildflower Walk will search out and identify Freja Park ephemeral wildflowers, the perennials which flower in spring, then go dormant by mid-summer.  We'll also identify invasive plants which start their growth before much of our native woody vegetation.  Leslie Alexander has been a horticulturist for over 40 years.  In addition to her position at UCONN as State Master Gardener Program coordinator, some of her favorite jobs included a position as the Wetland Agent for the Town of West Newbury, MA, Horticultural Director of Fuller Gardens, a public garden in New Hampshire, and as an adjunct professor of biology at MCC.

Participants may then help plant a tree and the Bolton Conservation Commission will recognize former members of the Freja Park Trail Improvement subcommittee that helped improve the park dramatically from 1998-2010.

Freja park (pronounced Fray-ya) is a popular 21-acre park that serves as a gateway to the Bolton Notch Valley Falls watershed leading to a myriad of trails and open space. Without the efforts of the members of the Freja Park Trail Improvement subcommittee; Ron and Deb Beaudoin, Kris Treat and Mary Lou Amenta the park would not be as pristine and offer so much as it does today.

This is a FREE event; registration is required by emailing TOBCC@aol.com or call the Bolton Conservation Commission 860-649-8066, extension 6110, leave name address and phone number of participants.  No Dogs please - Heavy Rain Date is Sunday, April 24th at 1:00 PM.
