Fells Fall Splendor

October has been particularly beautiful this year in the Fells! We hope you have been able to take it in. The naturalist Wilson Flagg, one of the co-founders in 1880 of the Middlesex Fells Association, wrote, “October is the most brilliant of the months, unsurpassed in the clearness of its skies and in the wonderful variety of tints that are sprinkled over all vegetation.” For information on the 19th century visionaries who saved the Fells visit http://www.friendsofthefells.org/history/
