Join us for a "Holly-Day" season walk at Mass Audubon's Ashumet Holly Wildlife Sanctuary in Falmouth, home to one of the largest holly plantations in New England. Ashumet is home to more than 65 types of hollies, ranging from American, Asian and European specimens, as well as the rare Franklinia tree. Hear the history of these revered trees, and the fascinating natural history of this beautiful sanctuary from Sanctuary Director, Ian Ives.
