"Local-ish to Lincoln, MA? Come join us next Wednesday, October 23 for our second annual TEDx Walden Pond event. This year's theme is "Two to Tell the Truth!" The theme echoes Henry David Thoreau's beautiful quote: "It takes two to speak the truth: One to talk, and one to listen."

Come and celebrate Henry's birthday with local historian Richard Smith. Smith will portray Henry David Thoreau on his 30th birthday in 1847 for the last time. He will receive guests at the Thoreau House Replica near the main parking lot. This is an informal rolling program, so you can stop at any time between 12:00 p.m. and 2:00 p.m. On sunny days, holidays, and weekends, Walden Pond often closes due to capacity. Please check DCR Park Alerts for closures at www.mass.gov/parkalerts.   Reasonable accommodations are available upon request.  Call 978-405-2082

He will also discuss wolves in New England and opportunities for wolf restoration in the region. This is a virtual lecture, and registration is required. Co-sponsored by RESTORE: The North Woods.
