Join us and Save the Harbor / Save the Bay for a walk around Spectacle Island in Boston Harbor to kickoff the annual Week Without Driving!  Sierra Club Massachusetts outings leaders will lead a 2.3 mile walk with around 200 ft of elevation gain and loss to the two high points on Spectacle Island. We plan to move at a relaxed pace based on the people who join us. On rest breaks at viewpoints, we will talk about the story of Spectacle island and how it connects to Environmental advocacy in Massachusetts. All ages are welcome though kids must be accompanied by parents/guardians.

It is also important to arrive on time because even having registered, when the boat is at capacity, no one else will be allowed aboard. If you register your interest in the guided walk by signing up through this Sierra Club MA page, we will confirm with you whether or not there is space on the ferry as Save the Harbor / Save the Bay is holding some tickets for us. 

We will send more updates and reminders to those who register. We would gather at 10:45am in front of the Spectacle Island visitor's center giving participants a bit of time to get off the ferry and use the bathrooms.
