Saturday hikes continue

The Tewksbury Open Space & Recreation Committee and the Tewksbury Public Library are hosting a series of guided, 2 mile easy hikes on Saturdays to showcase the town’s open spaces. This week’s Chandler Well Fields walk was close to full today (three spaces left but there is a waiting list), but there’s space left for the July 16 walk through the Tewksbury State Hospital Pines Cemetery.
