The Blue Hills are rich with natural resources. Starting at the Donovan School upper parking lot (left of the school) watch your feet as we pass through an area used often by local horseback riders. We’ll cross the horse bridge to explore the East side of Ponkapoag and take a look at some of the natural resources along the way.
