From 11 a.m.-1 p.m., the Sudbury Valley Trustees will be holding a spring walk at Garfield Woods in Berlin. North Brook,
a cold water trout stream, provides audible accompaniment as you follow the trail along its banks, which lead to the Assabet River. Dramatic rock outcroppings and boulders dropped by passing glaciers punctuate the woods. Evergreen ferns grace the rock ledges and boulders. In mid-May, expect to see blooms of wood anemone, marsh marigold and bellwort. Discussion will touch on these natural characteristics as well as stewardship activities in the woods, including deer management and youth conservation steward projects. Free, but registration is required. For more info, call 978-443-5588 or visit www. sudburyvalleytrustees.org.

Tatnuck Author Event: Howie Carr – “Hit Man”
Tatnuck Bookseller, 18 Lyman St., Westborough, presents radio talk-show personality, crime reporter and Boston Herald columnist Howie Carr at 12 p.m. as he discusses and signs his new book, “Hit Man, the untold
story of Johnny Martorano: Whitey Bulger’s Enforcer and the Most Feared Gangster in the Underworld.” For two decades, Martorano struck fear into anyone even remotely connected to his world. His partnership with Whitey Bulger and the infamous Winter Hill Gang led to 20 murders... for which Johnny would serve 12 years in prison. Carr also looks at the politicians and FBI agents who aided Johnny and Whitey, and at the flamboyant city of Boston, which Martorano so ruthlessly ruled. All are welcome to attend.

Rita Parisi of Waterfall Productions will be hostess for a Summertime Tea from 2-4 p.m. at First United Methodist Church, 52 Church St., Marlborough. At the turn of the last century, people would spend much of their summers enjoying popular beachside resorts. There they would stroll along the promenades, and enjoy amusements such as ballroom dancing, vaudeville, bandstand music, circuses and moving pictures. Parisi, as the character of Mrs. Gordon, will give you a firsthand account of what it was like to spend a day at the beach in 1908. Free, but reservations are required.
