The Rochester Land Trust will host a winter walk through Lionberger Woods with a local guide on Sunday, Jan. 29 at 1 p.m.

Rochester native, Mindy LaBranche, an adjunct professor at Bridgewater State University and Massasoit College, will lead the walk.

This time of the year, the animals and plants are preparing for spring. The squirrels are frisky, the woodpeckers drumming and the small birds starting to sing.

Parking is at approximately 75 Haskell Ridge Road. For maps of Rochester Land Trust properties, click here.
