Join the Linda Loring Nature Foundation for a nature exploration!
Walking over our gently rolling trails, we’ll explore sandplain grasslands and coastal heathlands, and enjoy views of Long Pond and Nantucket Sound. There is deep joy in wandering the landscape, guided only by our attention— Nature Rambles are an opportunity to reconnect with this practice.
On a Ramble, we look up, down, and all around to see what’s blooming, budding, flying, and crawling around the property. Each outing is unique and loosely guided by what nature offers that particular morning- caterpillars, wildflowers, birds, and maybe even mammal tracks in the sand! Come by to see what’s out and about in nature.
This July, Rambles will feature a special opportunity to participate in our annual BioBlitz with the Nantucket Land Council!
What’s a BioBlitz, you ask? A BioBlitz is an event that focuses on finding and identifying as many species as possible in a specific area over a short period of time. We’re focusing on any species seen anywhere on Nantucket during the month of July. The BioBlitz is organized through a free app and website iNaturalist, which keeps a list of your observations and helps identify what you’ve seen with a community of scientists, hobby naturalists, and nature enthusiasts.
During July Rambles, we’ll detail how to use iNaturalist and give updates on the status of the BioBlitz with our friends from the Nantucket Land Council for our 3rd July BioBlitz together!
Rambles are free and open to all!
