Always a great spot for spring migrants, the Fenway Victory Gardens often hold surprises. With 7 acres and more than 500 individual gardens the area draws a rich variety of wildlfe.
On this walk we will count birds and compile the data for check list of birds along the 27-mile Walking City Trail. Your count helps bring attention to the need to preserve urban green space for people and for wildlife. Thanks for counting!

Connecting 17 Boston neighborhoods from the Neponset River Reservation to Bunker Hill Monument, the Walking City Trail is a 27-mile urban hiking path through some of Boston’s most scenically immersive parks, urban wilds, gardens, and residential neighborhoods.
It was created in 2022 by a hearty crew of Boston ramblers.
As cities expand their multi-use trails, it’s time to expand our idea of where hiking can happen. The city is a rustling, fragrant, and historically loaded ecosystem in which pathways and street walks can be connected to create long-distance hiking routes. What better way to discover urban hiking than by hiking Boston, where visionaries like Frederick Law Olmsted brought the natural world to the city with the Emerald Necklace linear parks? Or where thousands of people walk the Freedom Trail each year?
