Citizens for Lexington Conservation (CLC) is pleased to announce that Dr. Jeff Howry, landscape archeologist and Lexington historian, will be the 2026 Annual Meeting speaker.
Join Jeff in a historical exploration of Willard’s Woods, one of Lexington’s most popular conservation parcels. The area presents many examples of how our New England landscape was shaped by nature and occupied by humans. The virtual tour will show participants many of the features of the 100 acres that tell stories of what has happened there over the past 12,000 years. Participants will particularly come to appreciate the historic landscape and what it tells us about our colonial forebearers’; lives.
Dr. Jeff Howry is a landscape archaeologist whose research covers both New England and southwest Asia. In both regions, he combines social history with remote-sensing imagery to reveal features that indicate land use and patterns of human occupation.
The meeting is open to the public. Please join us. Light refreshments will be served using compostable paper goods!
In addition to our speaker, There will be a VERY brief Annual Meeting.
