Fall Nature Ramble

Fall Nature Ramble

Join the Linda Loring Nature Foundation for a fall nature exploration!

Walking over our gently rolling trails, we’ll explore the fall colors of our sandplain grasslands and coastal heathlands, and enjoy views of Long Pond and Nantucket Sound.

What’s a Ramble, you ask? Nature Rambles are loosely guided explorations, where our attention is dictated by the interests of the group and what nature offers that particular day.

We could see a plethora of caterpillars, notice wildflowers in bloom, or maybe even spot mammal tracks in the sand! We look up, down, and all around to see what’s still blooming, flying, and crawling around the property.

Rambles are free to attend.

Climate Change Nature Ramble

Climate Change Nature Ramble

  • Linda Loring Nature Foundation (map)
  • Google Calendar ICS

Did you know that the Linda Loring Nature Foundation conducts research on and monitors the effects of climate change?

In celebration of Climate Change Awareness Month, join Dr. Sarah Bois, Director of Research and Education, for a climate change tour around LLNF. She’ll showcase LLNF research in action, demonstrate tools we can all use to track changes in our environments, and help participants identify climate change indicators.

How is climate change already affecting LLNF and the island? How is it expected to affect our flora and fauna in the near future? We’ll explore these topics as we tour the LLNF property, highlight areas potentially vulnerable to impacts of climate like sea level rise and warming temperatures, and discuss local efforts to mitigate for climate change effects.

We’ll “ramble” over our gently rolling trails, we’ll explore sandplain grasslands and coastal heathlands, and enjoy views of Long Pond and Nantucket Sound. Our staff will also share the history of the LLNF property, current research projects, and management efforts. Bring your nature questions- discussion is encouraged!

Rambles are free and open to all!

Nature Ramble

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.

Rambles are free to attend. Rambles are not geared towards children, though we do offer Family Explorations that are more suitable for young ones. See our event listing for registration.

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!
