Whether you're taking the MBTA commuter rail and the CATA bus to Crane Beach @craneestate_trustees, or you just don't feel like lugging a lot of stuff to the beach for the day, we've got you covered! Our Crane Beach Store offers daily rentals for visitors – just stop by on your way out to the beach and pick up a beach chair and umbrella for the day. Forgot something? The Crane Beach Store offers many beachgoing essentials, including sunscreen, flip-flops, baseball caps, and of course, a t-shirt or sweatshirt to commemorate the day. Hungry and didn't bring a cooler? No sweat, we'll feed you, too! The Crane snack shack has the perfect beach food to fuel your day.

The July full moon, also known as the Buck Moon, occurs on July 21, at 6:17 a.m. EDT. The full moon shares the evening sky with Mercury, which will be at its greatest apparent distance from the sun that day. Moonset is at 5:29 a.m. that day in New York City, but farther south the moment of full phase occurs before then. The name "Buck Moon" originates from Native American traditions, referring to the time of year when male deer, or bucks, begin to grow their new antlers. On the night of the full moon, just after sunset (which is at 8:21 p.m. in New York), one will be able to see Mercury, which reaches its greatest eastern elongation — the maximum apparent distance from the sun — at 11:37 p.m. EDT. The planet sets at 9:34 p.m., so it won't be very high in the sky; it will only be 5 degrees above the western horizon by 9 p.m. But careful observations after sunset might allow you to see it before then. Do not try to use any optical aid to see it until the sun is below the horizon, however; observing any objects close to the sun is dangerous because even split-second exposure to sunlight through binoculars or a telephoto lens can cause permanent damage to your retinas. Happy Moon and Planet gazing and don’t forget to check out our guided Full Moon adventures: https://lnkd.in/efUbM3JC 📷: World’s End, Hingham – cr: Jean Beach #TheTrustees #TheWeekender #FullMoon #BuckMoon #JulyMoon #JulyFullMoon #FullMoonHike #Hiking #NightHiking #Nature #Massachusetts #Accessibility [Description: Photo of the Full Moon as seen from World’s End in Hingham, MA.]

On today’s edition of Trustees Hidden Gems, we introduce you to… Cormier Woods in Uxbridge! Cormier Woods lies within the Blackstone River Valley National Heritage Corridor, a designated area extending from Worcester to Providence that celebrates the historical and cultural importance of the river and the birthplace of America’s Industrial Revolution. Easy to moderate-intensity trails wind through open meadow and along stone walls, opening up a quintessential 1800s New England agricultural landscape and small-scale farmstead, replete with an historic house, barn, and a blueberry patch that ripens in late summer. Plan your visit: Five miles of connected loop trails pass through easy to moderate terrain, including pastures, woodlands, and a boulder field. Pass beneath evergreens and hardwood species including oaks, maple, and birch. On the one-and-a-half-mile loop trail leading toward the reservation’s northwest border, look for groves of 80-to-100-foot white pines. This property is FREE to all and open year-round, sunrise to sunset. Dogs are permitted to be off leash if under voice control at all times. Please remove their waste properly. Mountain biking is permitted except where posted. Cormier Woods parking can be found at 217 Chapin St. in Uxbridge. There is parking near the barn. #TheTrustees #CormierWoods #UxbridgeMA #LesserKnownProperties #SpecialPlaces #Nature #Explore #Outdoor #Landscape #Accessibility [Description: Photos of various areas of Cormier Woods in Uxbridge MA.]

Name that View! Do you know what Trustees property this photo was taken from? Bonus Points if you can name the body of water seen from this view! Hint: The water seen here is a public reservoir (so please take care to protect this critical resource by not swimming or wading, and do not allow dogs to wade or swim in the water either). #TheTrustees #NameThatView #BeautifulVista #Massachusetts #WhereAreWe #BeautifulVista #Lake 📷: Nick Colleen Fiorello #Accessibility [Description: Photo of a beautiful lake vista in Massachusetts.]
