Learn to Identify Fresh Pond's Wildflowers
Many beautiful wildflowers, both cultivated and uncultivated, can be found on the Reservation. With the help of Jessica Korecki of the New England Wild Flower Society (NEWFS), this group of participants found and identified wild-growing wildflowers along the railroad tracks in front of the Water Purification Facility. The group also visited the planting bed in the middle of the Water Department parking lot, where colorful native wildflowers such as Rudbeckia, Echinacea , Coreopsis, Hibiscus, Asters, Goldenrods, and Lobelias are growing.
