I hope some fellow GMG fans can join us this Saturday in honor of my dear local friend and teacher Richard Boulter who sustained a life threatening spinal cord injury this past winter.  So much of the healer that I am today is because of his guidance and support. It is this Saturday at the St Peter’s Club from 7pm-midnight.  There will be music, food, raffles and a silent auction.  Tickets are $25 in advance or $30 at the door.  Contact
Angela Corcoran at 617-320-9780 for more info or to reserve a ticket
Through the love of friends, family and community,  Richard is still with us and getting better every day and we are so appreciative of all fundraising support we have already received from the organizations below.    If you cannot join us but would like to make a tax
deductible donation in any amount we will gratefully pass it on.
Thanks again to everyone below for your love and help, hope to see you there!

There’s more to the reservation than the famous Ocean Lawn. The highest point on the Reservation, Bungalow Hill, provides a panoramic view of the sea. The hill’s rocky outcrops are evidence that glaciers once covered the area, erratically dropping these boulders when melting at the end of the last Ice Age. Look closely and you can still see the scour marks from the grinding force of the moving glaciers. The surrounding woodland is a characteristic New England mix of oak and pine, wildflowers and ferns – home to an array of birds and other wildlife, including fisher, fox, and coyote.
Beyond the woodland, a trail leads past Clarke Pond. This former salt marsh was cut off from the tide nearly a century ago when its inlet was filled, leaving a predominantly freshwater pond. Saltwater periodically washes in during high tides and storms, bringing crabs and small fish from the ocean. The pond provides habitat for ducks and geese, and heron and shorebirds feed here. Several acres of wetlands surround the pond with cattail, bulrush, and cordgrass standing distinctively among the varied wetland plant life, also marked by colorful displays of trout lilies, jack-in-the-pulpit, and swamp buttercups.
Coolidge Reservation also includes a portion of Magnolia’s Gray Beach (also known as Magnolia Beach) with its sandy shoreline and dunes, complete with colorful beach pea and beach rose.
