A Walk in the Upper Cambridge Watershed
Cambridge Watershed Manager Chip Norton (top left photo, plaid shirt) invited members of the Friends group to join him on a walk through the woods and meadows of a parcel of land in Lexington that is owned by the City of Cambridge. Maintaining the land as a natural area helps protect the quality of the water in the adjacent Hobbs Brook Reservoir.
The woodland path led us through hilly terrain to the top of a high cliff. The bottom two photos are views in opposite directions along a power line right of way that cuts through the property. There are many wild blueberries and other native shrubs growing in this area.
