Tucked away in West Wareham is a new conservation area: the Douglas S. Westgate Conservation Area. For those who are unfamiliar with the grounds, the Buzzards Bay Coalition will be hosting a guided hike on Wednesday, Jan. 22 at 10 a.m.

Hikers will stroll beside the Wewentic River and explore the woods, cranberry bogs and other scenic natural areas.

The hike will last until 11:30 a.m. The conservation area is located at 29 Papermill Road. The best part? The cost is free. However, registration is required.

To RSVP, email bayadventures@savebuzzardsbay.org or call (508) 999-6363 ext. 219.
