I bring unique experiences as a local parent, non-profit leader, and ordained minister that I believe will serve our district well at the State House.” Lewis previously served as the assistant minister at the Unitarian Universalist Society of Wellesley Hills, where he provided ministerial oversight to the congregation’s social justice and education programs. He currently serves as the executive director of OUT MetroWest, a Framingham-based non-profit for LGBTQ teens he helped to create.

June 2016 Local Town Pages www.hollistontownnews.com Page 23 Mass Audubon Stony Brook Announces Its June Programming! Early Morning Birds: Tuesdays in June, from 7 a.m.-8:30 a.m. Spring brings a variety of birds to Stony Brook, as migrants return to nest or stop over on their journey north. Take a morning stroll with Doug Williams and/ or Jack Lash and discover the wonderful creatures of the area. Nature lovers of all levels are welcome! We will focus on identifying birds by habitat, behavior, color and call. Tell your friends. Fee: $6m/$9nm Tiny Trekkers: Saturdays, June 4th and 18th, from 10:30 a.m. - 12 p.m. Start your weekend off right with a fun and knowledgeable Stony Brook teacher on the trails learning about nature. Each day will have a special topic created to excite your child about the natural world. There will be crafts, activities and lots of laughter. So come and join the fun. This month’s themes: Our Webbed Footed Friends/ Fabulous Frogs. Ages 2.9 to 6 with a parent. Fee: $5m/$6nm per person per session Summer Hike at Quabbin Reservoir: Sunday, June 5th, from 9:30 a.m. – 2:30 p.m. Quabbin Reservoir is a pristine 18-mile long reservoir, secluded in almost 55,000 acres of uninhabited woodland. We will start at the Visitors’ Center on our search for Bald Eagles, Porcupines, Coyotes, River Otters, Common Ravens, and Pileated Woodpeckers, along with views and/or evidence of all 3 Mass. Mega-mammals (Moose, Black bear, Deer). Dress for the weather including good walking/hiking shoes, plus bring something to keep the bugs at bay. Bring Lunch. Fee: $32m/$39nm We Are Nature, Thursday, June 9th & 23rd, from 11 a.m. - 12 p.m. Join Ms. Jessica for a developmental nature program that encourages toddlers to discover the wonders of nature as they learn more about themselves. How do bats hear? Do we communicate like bees? What do birds do in the winter? Explore these questions through an interactive program utilizing discovery tables, crafts, music, story time and short trail walks on the property. Leave with a tired toddler, and new enthusiasm for our natural world. Ages 2.5 to 5 with a care-giver. Fee: $4m/$5nm per person per session Beaver Walk: Saturday, June 11th, from 8 – 9 p.m. There is no more exciting time to get out onto the sanctuary than around sunset and just after. The fading light signals many of the animals that it is time to get out and start their daily activities. Creatures such bats, moths, beavers, foxes, raccoons and many others will become active, foraging and moving about. Bring your flashlight and we’ll cover the lens in red to preserve our night vision before we head outside. This program will be held rain or shine, so please dress for the weather. Fee: $9adult/$6childm; $11/$7nm per person Herons at the Nest: Sunday, June 12th, from 9 a.m. – 11:30 a.m. Join us for an easy walk to a magnificent rookery which serves as home to more than 30 pairs of great blue herons near Stony Brook. Herons raise their young in giant stick nests built high up in standing dead trees in the middle of wetlands. Heron rookeries are places of great activity. We will have ample opportunities to watch these magnificent creatures gently gliding to and from their nests in the process of caring for their young. Wetlands are generally very busy places in the summer so we will spend time searching for the many other species such as Wood Ducks and Hooded Mergansers that call these habitats home. We will carpool from Stony Brook a short distance to the rookery. Bring cameras and binoculars. Fee: $11m/$14nm Whoo’s Out There: Evening Wildlife Prowl: Friday, June 17th, from 7:45 – 9:15 p.m. Explore the fascinating world of Stony Brook after dark. It’s a magical time of day and adventures out on the trail often reinforce that notion. You never know what you will find on a walk around the trails after sunset. We’ll be on the lookout for the many creatures that roam the wetlands, fields and forest in the early evening. We might hear, or even see, owls, beavers, frogs, otters, bats or other nocturnal animals. If you’re open to surprises, these leisurely walks are for you! Minimum age 6. Fee: $9adult/$6childm - $11/$7nm What’s the Buzz? Native Bees of Massachusetts: Saturday, June 18th, from 1 – 3 p.m. Bees are fascinating and very important contributors to healthy ecosystems. Although bee keepers have been stewarding honey bees for thousands of years, those bees are not native to our country and are not the best pollinators for many of our native plants. We do have native bees, however, and they are adapted to pollinating the native plants of our wetlands, roadsides, parks and other open spaces. As a group, they are diverse and beautiful and they are in need of our support. Join Sean Kent, Education Coordinator for the Museum of American Bird Art at Mass Audubon to see his beautiful images of these incredible pollinators and learn about their natural history and efforts to conservation these amazing creatures. Fee: $8m/$10nm Learn the Ferns: Saturday, June 25th, from 10:30 a.m. – 12:30 p.m. Ferns have been an important component of the landscape since before dinosaurs roamed the earth. They predate the pines, spruces, hemlocks and all the beautiful flowering plants. Although they do not flower, their graceful arching forms add their own special beauty to our forests, fields and gardens. There are fewer than 100 kinds of ferns growing in our landscapes; we will focus on recognizing the key characteristics for identifying the common and not so common species. Join us to learn the skills you will need to recognize the common ferns in your landscape. Fee: $17m/$21nm Pre-registration is required for all programs (except as noted).
