"Hiking" the Emerald Necklace -- HIKE 2: Arnold Arboretum to Franklin Park
Hunnewell Visitor Center at the Arnold Arboretum
125 Arborway, Jamaica Plain, MA (map)
The Emerald Necklace--a chain of linked urban parks spanning 5 miles--is the only remaining INTACT linear park designed by Frederick Law Olmstead ... and it's right here in Boston! Let's take advantage of this wonderful public resource by exploring the necklace with 3 leisurely "hikes" over the course of the summer:
HIKE 1 (June 26) -- The Fenway to Jamaica Pond and back
HIKE 2 (July 24) -- Arnold Arboretum to Franklin Park and back
HIKE 3 (August 21) -- The Boston Common to the Fenway and back
Here's a map of the Emerald Necklace
Come to 1, 2 or all 3 hikes!

Hey hikers! Don't forget that if it rains, this event will be cancelled. If that happens, I'll send an email to everyone who RSVP'd 'yes' or 'maybe' and I'll put a note up on this page. Feel free to call me if you're wondering (I'm sending my cell phone number via separate email now). Cheers! ... anor
