An Evening Walk in the
Upper Cambridge Watershed

Beautiful weather and lovely woods were the perfect combination for this tour of a piece of Cambridge-owned property in Lincoln. Chip Norton, Cambridge Watershed Manager (in left photo, pointing at sign) explained how the land, known as "the Harrington property" came to be owned by the City of Cambridge. Stony Brook, which feeds the Stony Brook Reservoir, flows through it and forms a pond (bottom photo) behind an old mill dam. A Great Blue Heron (right photo) did a good job of hiding his body behind the leaves of a tree, but he couldn't hide his reflection on the water.
