The Harvard Conservation Trust invites your family and friends to a Moonlight Hike on Saturday, October 4, 2025 at 7:00 p.m.

Guided by naturalist Dr. Bob Douglas, you’ll embark on a journey through the woods just as the nocturnal world awakens. You’ll learn about the mysterious lives of forest creatures—and hear eerie and fascinating stories about the animals that come alive after dark. Bring a headlight or flashlight, bugspray, and wear sturdy shoes. After the hike, we’ll gather around a warm fire and enjoy some light refreshments. Register here: https://bit.ly/HCTMoonlight2025

PLEASE TAKE 2 MINUTES TO HELP US IMPROVE CELLULAR SERVICE IN HARVARD!

The Town Administration is working to improve cellular network coverage throughout Harvard to ensure broader, more reliable 911 access, and to enhance the effectiveness of all cellular communications and applications.  Documented issues of poor coverage and dropped calls incentivize providers to expand coverage, so please participate in a simple 8-question anonymous survey about the quality of (or lack of) cellular service coverage at your home. 

Survey results will be shared publicly with residents and with carriers to encourage equipment investments on existing towers and to attract carriers to the new cellular tower being built behind the Hildreth House.  The more responses the better! Please reply by October 15th. Please click https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/FCPWYJ2 to take the survey!
