This week, we take a look at some places you can go and enjoy some screen-free nature. You don’t have to suit up for some big hike; we look at some nearby places with short trails where you can enjoy the crisp air and the last bits of fall foliage and look for any animals doing their pre-winter prep. Time to take a walk in some woods, fields, bogs and other local landscapes.

Also on the cover, Positive Street Art in Nashua looks at Leonardo da Vinci’s use of camera obscura and offers a 25-minute preview of Ken Burns’ new documentary about the artist (page 14). Holy Trinity Cathedral in Manchester is taking orders for Polish food classics (page 23). Fulchino Vineyard in Hollis celebrates the grape harvest with its annual Wine and Cheese Festival (page 22).
