Late Summer/early Fall is the time when many trees and plants release their seeds to grow a new generation. See what kinds of seeds can be found in the Discovery Woods and on the Great Hill Conservation Land.

These seeds have some ingenious ways of getting where they need to go. Some tempt animals to eat them, which gives them a free ride and provides fertilizer at the same time! Some parachute from trees, float on the air or water, or shoot out from seed pods like missiles.

Please note that the conservation land trails are not ADA or stroller accessible; please wear appropriate footwear and clothing. For more information on Great Hill, please visit trails.actonma.gov. Inclement weather may result in changes to the program or cancellation.
