A free Bird Walk will be held at the Lyman Reserve from 7 to 8:30 a.m. on Saturday, October 6.

The group will search for birds during the height of their migration south along Buttermilk Bay, Red Brook, and the forested areas of the Lyman Reserve.

Beginner birders are welcome. Bring binoculars. Everyone will meet in the parking lot.

For more information, please call 508-636-4693, extension 13. Or visit the Lyman Reserve's website, www.thetrustees.org, and click "places to visit."

The Theodore Lyman Reserve honors the naturalist who, in 1867, first experienced Red Brook during a site visit for the Massachusetts Board of Inland Fisheries, according to the website.

He eventually acquired a total of 638 acres, and in 2001, the Lyman family generously donated the entire Red Brook property to ensure its protection in perpetuity.

Lyman’s legacy is preserved in the form of the 638-acre Red Brook Reserve, which is comprised of the 210-acre Lyman Reserve, and the 428-acre Red Brook Wildlife Management Area.

The Lyman Reserve is spread out over Wareham, Bourne, and Plymouth.
