Henry David Thoreau described a  loon’s call as, “Perhaps the wildest sound that is ever heard here, making the woods ring far and wide.” Join us for a presentation about loons inspired by Thoreau’s admiration for them. DCR Wildlife Biologist Jillian Whitney and Loon Preservation Committee Outreach Coordinator/Biologist Caroline Hughes will discuss Common Loons, their distribution and presence in Massachusetts—including at Walden—and how we can protect them.

This event is co-sponsored by the Massachusetts Department of Conservation and Recreation and Friends of Walden Pond. Event is Free. Parking fees apply. For more information call: (978) 405-2082 or email walden.programs@mass.gov
