Hike Boston: Park Ranger 'Herstory' Program

Hike Boston is a day-time hiking series where we invite you to join us for a walk in one of Boston's parks or urban wilds.

March 19, 2023
2023-03-19T11:00:00 - 2023-03-19T12:00:00

Boston Park Rangers, Urban Wilds staff, and Parks employees will provide formal and informal discussions or tours during the hikes. Some hikes may be more focused on taking a walk in the park, while others may be more informational.

Programs will last about one hour and length may vary.

This program led by Park Rangers may be a shorter walk on paved pathways with more informational content included.

For more information visit the Hike Boston home page.
