Led by an Emerald Necklace Conservancy docent, this tour will traverse the footprint of the restored Muddy River in the Back Bay Fens. You’ll learn about the project that brought portions of the Muddy River above ground and hear the remarkable story of how a piece of Olmsted’s landscape was reclaimed as parkland after spending decades paved over and used as a parking lot. The tour will begin and end at the entrance to REI at the Landmark Center. This tour is free and open to the public. Wear walking shoes and bring a refillable water bottle. Tours are cancelled for rain or extreme weather. Check our website for updates or call 617-522-2700.
