Why you should attend “Paint Mine and Hennessey Conservation lands have 49 acres and 2 miles of trails. They are beautiful in all seasons. Paint Mine includes a hilly upland forest, a wetland area under the power lines, and a ten-acre meadow. The natural ochre deposit at Paint Mine is a yellow-brown pigment that was used for coloring paint in the mid-1800s. You should see many pieces of ochre on your walk. You will learn a lot on this interesting walk and have a good time, too.”—Jane Warren, Citizens for Lexington Conservation walk coordinator About the event WHEN 1:30 – 3 p.m. Sunday, October 25 WHERE Meet at the parking lot of Estabrook School, 117 Grove St. INFO Clclex.org CONTACT Walk Leader: Fran Ludwig ([ mailto:Fludwig12 (@) yahoo.com ]Fludwig12 (@) yahoo.com; 781-861-7231)
