Location

We will gather at the Smith College Ada and Archibald MacLeish Field Station, immersed in nature, in the hills and woods of Whately, MA. Depending on the weather, parts of the event might be held outside.

The address for this location is 80 Poplar Hill Road, Whately, MA. Please proceed slowly along Poplar Hill Road. Once you get to the top of the hill, please slow down to 15 mph. The Field Station is at the very end of the road. The parking area is to the right of the gate. Expect to walk ~300 yards along the Welcome Trail through the woods to get to the building.

There will be a shuttle between Smith College and MacLeish on the day of the event. Sign up when you register.
