Lower Lake Walk with Dr. Roy Larick

Join Doan Brook Watershed Partnership, Shaker Historical Society and Dr. Roy Larick of Bluestone Heights for a guided walk around Lower Lake. At Lower Lake, we can address the past and future of the Doan Brook parklands. The walk will observe evidence for local ecosystem change from glacial retreat and forest emergence through to water-powered milling and suburban development. Now, as regional rainfall rises while Shaker historical infrastructure ages, we must ask how to preserve history and build climate-resilient parklands.

Walkers will meet at the Nature Center at Shaker Lakes parking lot at 10am on August 14th. Be sure to wear sturdy footwear! A $5 per person fee payable in cash or check will be collected on the day of the event.
