Native Plants in the Woodland Restoration Demonstration Project
Photos, left to right: Christmas Fern (Polystichum acrostichoides) with Pennsylvania Sedge (Carex pensylvanica), Highbush Blueberry (Vaccinium corymbosum), Spinulose Wood Fern (Dryopteris carthusiana) and Blue-stemmed Goldenrod (Solidago caesia)
The Woodland Restoration Demonstration Project is located next to the Perimeter Road about ¼ mile north of the Water Department buildings. Created and maintained by three volunteers, its goal is to reintroduce communities of plants that might have grown in that location in pre-colonial times. All plants are considered native to the area of Massachusetts we call Middlesex County.
