     Meet in parking lot behind Waldorf School, 739 Mass. Ave, Lexington Waldorf School is just west of Pleasant Street and Wilson Farm. The school is behind the East Lexington Branch Library and the Follen Church. 

Plant expert, wild foods enthusiast and Arlington resident Russ Cohen will lead us on an edible plant walk at Arlington’s Great Meadows. The walk will begin at Peepers Pond, adjacent to the Waldorf School, and continue into Arlington’s Great Meadows. Footgear for marshy areas is desirable, especially if it has rained recently. Insect repellent is strongly recommended. We will probably have an opportunity to taste some wild plants. 

Russ is in his 32nd year of teaching courses about wild edibles. During the "off-season", he writes articles on foraging and gives slide presentations featuring many of his favorite edible wild plants and mushrooms found in New England. Russ' foraging book, "Wild Plants I Have Known. . .and Eaten" came out last year. Visit his website for more info about his relationship with wild plants: http://users.rcn.com/eatwild/bio.htm  

June 11, Saturday, 9:30 to 12:30 - Biodiversity Day Infinity Pond Drop In
Infinity Pond is one of two vernal ponds located in Arlington’s Great Meadows. In honor of the 2005 "Biodiversity Days", FoAGM and CLC sponsored an "Open House" at the pond on June 11th.

The day was hot, and a shady pond was a good spot to spend a Saturday morning. About 20 children and adults attended the event. Everyone had a net or kitchen strainer to sample the pond life. Every dip seemed to bring up at least one tadpole. Bullfrogs, Green frogs, Spring peepers and American toads are all represented in the tadpole population at the pond. Insect larvae, including dragonfly and damselfly larvae were also common catches.

For more information:  http://www.maccweb.org/biodiversity_days.html  Co-sponsored by Friends of Arlington’s Great Meadows, Citizens for Lexington Conservation and the Massachusetts Association of Conservation Commissions.

Saturday, May 14, 8:30 - 12:00 AM - Japanese Knotweed Control Project
Friends of Arlington's Great Meadows will be holding a volunteer workday to continue efforts to control Japanese Knotweed along the bikeway to provide a more diverse habitat and re-open the view of the meadows. Depending on weather and participation, we may also do some garlic mustard control and trash collection, and maybe even remove an engine block.

Meet behind the Waldorf School on Mass Ave in East Lexington. Bring gloves and drinking water. Some poison ivy may be present. We will work rain or shine. For more information contact Mike Tabaczynski at mjt1@rcn.com.  Students seeking community service must contact Mike at that address to preregister.

     Two Owl/Kestrel houses built by Waldorf School shop students have been installed by FoAGM volunteers.  See one here.

Signs Installed by Eagle Scouts
     During my frequent and sometimes lengthy visits to Arlington's Great Meadows with maps, GPS, and camera in hand, people often ask me questions, the most common by far being "What is this place?" Well, thanks to the hard work of Lexington Boy Scout Alex MacNeil, no Great Meadows visitor will need to ask that question again. With help from his friends, Alex recently completed his Eagle Scout project of installing two large signs reading "Arlington's Great Meadows" near the most popular entrances, and about a dozen posts reading "AGM" at the other entrances.
     Stay tuned for future Eagle Scout projects in Great Meadows. With minimal supervision from FoAGM, guidance from troop leader Skip Irving, materials donated by Friend Lumber, and pizza "fuel" supplied by his mother, Alex's sign project was done at no cost to FoAGM or the towns of Arlington or Lexington. It's an impressive example of how a diverse collection of civic minded folks can work together to make a small change that identifies the largest natural open space in Lexington and Arlington as public land that the communities care about.
       Mike Tabaczynski, 8/8/04.

Swamp Milkweed Restoration
     We (FoAGM) have permission from Lex. Conservation to plant a small number of swamp milkweed plants at Arlington's Great Meadows. Once a common plant at AGM, I have found only 2 surviving plants, the rest have been crowded out by purple loosestrife. I collected seeds from the swamp milkweed plants last year, and they are now growing nicely and almost ready to plant at AGM.
    I cleared 2 small plots for swamp milkweed seedlings. Both are near the 2 surviving swamp milkweed plants. The plots have well established patches of purple loosestrife, and boy, that stuff is hard to dig out. The roots form a dense mat, and there are thick, woody rhizomes connecting the stalks. I cleared a few square feet, but I could definitely use a little help. Just an hour would be great, the total area to be cleared will only be about 25-30 square feet.
Let me know if you are willing to help with this. You'll need: garden gloves, long pants, bug repellent, shovel, garden clippers (optional).  Thanks in advance for any time you might have, Andrea Golden at andgold@comcast.net

Saturday, October 2, 10 AM - 3 PM
FoAGM will have a booth at the 165^th Annual (Lexington) East Village Fair, held on the lawn area between Waldorf School, the East Lexington Library, and Follen Church .  

Sunday, October 3, 8 AM
Laurel will lead a nature walk with a focus on fruits, nuts and seeds.  “Fall is a peak time to observe berries, fruits, nuts and seeds.  Fruits serve as protection for seeds as well as effective means for dispersal.  Join us for a walk to look at the structures of different fruits and the ways they have evolved to attract animals, spill or eject ripe seeds, or stick to passers-by.”  Meet behind the Waldorf School at 8:00 AM.

August 1, Sunday, 8:00-10:00 AM: Plant & Insect Walk
Highlights of the walk included two species of ambush bugs hiding in flowers, a lacewing larvae covered with aphid carcasses, adult green lacewings, spiders, leaf hoppers, ants protecting their aphid colonies, a variety of small beetles and butterflies, geometrids [inchworms], galls, and dragonfly exuvia (discarded exoskeletons left behind by molting adults emerging from their nymph stage).  Another interesting aspect of the walk was comparison of the variety of insects captured by sweeping the net through different types of grassy habitats.  There are some pictures too!

June 12, Saturday, 7:30-10:30 AM: Breeding Birds at Arlington’s Great Meadow
Now that the rush of migration has passed, it’s time to turn our attention to breeding birds. We will explore Arlington’s Great Meadow (in Lexington), where breeders may include Blue-winged warbler, Rose-breasted Grosbeak, Orchard Oriole, and both cuckoo species. Meet at the entrance to the Great Meadow that is behind the Waldorf School, 793 Mass Avenue, Lexington.  Chris Floyd

May 22, Saturday, 9-12:  Invasive Plant Control
We will be doing some maintenance in Arlington's Great Meadows this Saturday May 22 between 9am and noon. Volunteer help is welcome. Work is expected to include trail closures, invasive plant control, and the planting of over 100 trees. Good student community service opportunity. Meet behind the Waldorf School on Mass Ave, rain or shine. Bring work gloves and water.  For more information contact Mike Tabaczynski at mjt1@rcn.com.

May 1, Saturday, 9-12:  Invasive Plant Control
Location to be determined.  Likely targets are garlic mustard and multiflora rose.

Primary targets are garlic mustard and multiflora rose. Meet at the AGM/Bryant St. parking lot.  For more information contact Andrea Golden at andgold@comcast.net or 781-646-3941.

April 28, Wednesday: Woodcock Walk 
Join us for our annual woodcock walks at Arlington’s Great Meadows. Nearly invisible for most of the year, this wonderful bird and its courtship dance are one of the joys of spring. Moist forests and meadows, such as those at AGM, are the required habitat of the woodcock, and we will discuss some of the reasons why before venturing out into the meadow to look for woodcocks. Spring peepers, wood frogs, toads and sometimes winnowing snipe can also be heard.  Binoculars and scopes are useful, particularly if we have a full moon. Dress warmly, woodcock “walks” are mostly woodcock “watches”. A portable beach chair might be useful, and the ground may be wet. Walk will begin at twilight, 7:15 pm. Meet at the AGM/Bryant St. parking lot.  Contact Andrea Golden at andgold@comcast.net or 781-646-3941 for more information.

April 27, Tuesday, 8:00 PM: Arlington's Great Meadows: A Photographer's View
Arlington Historical Society, 7 Jason Street, Arlington, MA.
For over 25 years, Arlington resident and photographer Harvey Coté has been admiring and capturing the ambiance, seasonal changes and ecology of this natural open space situated in Lexington but owned by the Town of Arlington. Mr. Coté says he will continue to photograph his favorite place "until I get it right." He will share his own experiences, observations and knowledge by offering a narration illustrated with large photographs from the early 1970s to the present.

Sunday February 8 at 10:00 AM - Tracking Arlington’s Great Meadows
     We had a very successful tracking walk this morning. There were thirteen people total.
Although sunny, it was bitterly cold with strong winds. The ground was covered with frozen snow which had actually preserved animal tracks from a day or so earlier.  We saw tracks for squirrel, rabbit, raccoon, grey (or red?) fox and fisher.  And many many dogs and humans.  The tracking walk was led by members of Walden Keeping Track.    

Tuesday, January 27 at 7:30 PM - Eco-tracking:  signs and tracks of animals in our midst
     Dave Brown presented an evening program on animal tracking on January 27^th at 7:30 at the Waldorf School.  This is jointly sponsored by the Friends of Arlington’s Great Meadows and Walden Keeping Track.  This program is designed to help participants learn to identify the tracks and other sign of wild animals in natural areas ranging from our backyards to the wilderness.  Because these animals flee from us and hide in the night or in foliage, we are usually unaware of their presence.  In the past two decades many so-called “wilderness species” have been insinuating themselves back into their ancestral habitats and are living among us largely undetected.  Although these animals are difficult to observe directly, they leave behind signs that can be found and used to determine their presence. 

Dave is a lifelong naturalist, birder, and teacher.  Beside interpretive programs such as this one, he does wildlife inventories and outdoor interpreter training.  His extensive experience has offered him many opportunities to take the slides and videotapes some of which he will be showing in this program.  In addition he has created Trackards and Companion Guide, a resource that many trackers have come to value and rely on. 

Come treat yourself to a delightful evening of the sights and stories of our natural world while also hearing about the work that Walden Keeping Track and Friends of Arlington’s Great Meadows are doing.  The program will be held in a room at the back of the Waldorf Elementary School, so easiest access is at the rear of the school.  Any questions may be directed to sandra.ruggiero@comcast.net.

Saturday, November 1, 12:00-2:00: More Trails Day
       I know I said last Saturday was the last maintenance day of the year, but I'm thinking it would be nice to spend 2 or 3 hours putting a few finishing touches on the work we accomplished, probably plant some more trees, install a few check dams, maybe erect some sign posts. If you were thinking of helping CLC at the Cataldo land that day (off Bow Street, 9:00-11:30am Saturday Nov 1), go right ahead. I'll be there also and will head over to Great Meadows afterward. It's about a half mile away.
      Meet Saturday Nov 1 at 12 noon in the parking lot next to the soccer field behind the Waldorf School, 739 Mass Ave, East Lexington, behind the branch library near Pleasant St/routes 4 & 225. If you arrive late, you can find us working in the area across the bikeway from the soccer field. Tools will be provided, and as always, student community service hours are available.

April 16, Wednesday - Woodcock Walk 
The evening woodcock display is a thrilling experience. Most of it goes on after dark, but there is a window of time when you can watch it fly. The sounds are the real experience (find out more on the link above). 

March 15, Saturday - Tracking in the Great Meadows 
Lead by Kevin Harding who is a high school teacher at Concord Carlisle and a long time
tracker. He is also a member of the Walden Keeping Track group which monitors wildlife in the Concord area.
Conditions for tracking were ideal. A few inches of snow had fallen two days earlier, and temperatures remained cool enough to preserve footprints and other traces in the fresh snow.
Animal tracks included coyote, rabbits, chipmunks, mice, fisher, and weasel.  Characteristic patterns of each type of animal track were noted, as well as information about the habits, physical appearance, lifestyle of each animal..
For instance, coyotes and other wild animals will walk in a straight line and minimize their steps to save energy, while dogs will wander widely and show a relatively erratic pattern of footprints.
Fisher tracks often follow a path around trees in hopes of discovering prey on the other side. A feeding site for rabbits included not only footprints but rabbit pellets and small branches that had been gnawed and stripped of bark.
Pictures:  Rabbit dining spot, Kevin & mouse tracks, Coyote tracks.
Our sincere thanks to Kevin for an outstanding walk!

February 25 - Winter Meeting:
