The group had a leaf-gazing gathering on the hill a few weeks ago–perhaps 30-40 folks came and went over the course of a few hours and shared snacks and conversation. Several of them had never been on the Reservoir before! We have photos here: https://www.facebook.com/DIYLowell/posts/1644036535874448
They’re planning another gathering in the spring when it warms again to stargaze. We’ll make an announcement on our mailing list and Facebook when a date is picked, but let us know if you want to be more involved and I’ll email you with the organizer’s contact info.
