Join the Buzzards Bay Coalition and Bristol Community College Prof. Stephan Martin for a stargazing walk at the Mattapoisett River Reserve on the winter solstice, the longest night of the year.

Far away from city lights, this 300+ acre preserve on Acushnet Road offers visitors trails and a dark, expansive sky to view the stars.

The event is Saturday, Dec. 21, from 6 to 7 p.m. and is free. RSVPs are requested. Call 508-999-6363 ext. 219 or email bayadventures@savebuzzardsbay.org to sign up.
