Explore Marshfield on foot! New to town? Longtime resident? Looking for friends to walk with? Here is your opportunity to explore some of Marshfield’s gems. This series of FREE Summer walks is co-sponsored by the Recreation Trails Committee and the Ventress Memorial Library. The walks are designed to allow residents the opportunity to explore trails which are located in Marshfield. With over 25 trails in town, there is probably one located not far from where you live. Our community walks are led by RTC members and a variety of guest presenters.  The walks are limited to 12 participants, age 10 and older. Students age 10-17 are welcome with an adult. Participants will learn about the history of the property and will share their knowledge with others.  Hikers are encouraged to: Wear sturdy shoes  Dress for the weather, which includes hat, sunglasses, sunscreen, walking stick and bug spray  Bring their own water bottle, and a peanut-free snack  Some trails may not be suitable for all individuals. Hills, rocks, tree limbs, uneven ground and brush are all common trail features. We love dogs, but for the comfort of all please leave them home during these walks. While our walks vary in length, they may go up to two hours per walk. In the event of heavy rain or thunder, walks will be rescheduled for the listed rain date. The North and South River Watershed Association offers descriptions of Marshfield and Marshfield area trails at NSRWA.org. Get outdoors – Forest Trails – to see which trails may be a good match for you. Registration is required. Space is limited and a wait list will be created once a walk fills. Volunteer opportunities exist for individuals, organizations and or businesses who wish to help improve and promote our vast network of community trails.  Meet at Brooks Tilden Shipyard, 1361 Union Street, just before the Union Street Bridge, look for the hiker sign. This 15-acre parcel was purchased by the town in 1977, and features a short trail, with a bench and scenic vista. Perfect for a short picnic, includes a canoe/kayak launch. We will learn about the history of this area and more! If time allows, we will also visit the Union Street Woodlands, 1253 Union Street. This 41-acre parcel features a half mile trail with a new wood boardwalk. Rain date: Sunday, June 15 at 1:00 pm. Questions? Reach out to Ned Bangs, Chair of the Recreation Trails Committee (nbangs@townofmarshfield.org) https://ventresslibrary.assabetinteractive.com/calendar/lets-go-hiking-tilden-union-street-woodlands/

The Ventress Memorial Library is excited to host the South of Boston Board Game Meetup on Saturday from 10:00 a.m.-4:00 p.m. The group began as an inclusive community of board gamers in the South Shore area and beyond. Their goal is to bring people together to share their love of board games in a welcoming and friendly environment. Come by and play games like Azul: Summer Pavilion, Wingspan, and Bohnanza. Never heard of any of these games? That's okay! New and veteran players welcome. Also, have a game you don't play? Bring a game to swap with other attendees. This free meetup is open to the public. https://ventresslibrary.assabetinteractive.com/meeting-and-study-rooms/south-of-boston-board-game-meetup-3/
