Join us on Saturday November 22nd in the beautiful Blue Hills to learn about PFAS (forever chemicals) in MA and ways to take action! We will walk an initial loop of about a mile around Houghton Pond with minimal elevation gain and loss pausing along the way to talk about PFAS advocacy. We will return to the visitor center for a bathroom break at this point, and say goodbye to anyone who would like to take off. Those who would like to continue will hike together for an additional 2.3 miles with around 570ft of elevation gain and loss to Eliot Tower and back.
