Plant Nursery at the Cambridge Water Department
These racks hold pots containing native tree species that will eventually be planted in the woods to the west of the Woodland Restoration Project (WRP).
This new project is being planned and carried out by volunteers from Friends of Fresh Pond Reservation. The goal is to restore locally native vegetation to the area using a minimal amount of money. Plants are being acquired in the following ways: purchased as small bare-root specimens for about $2 each, grown from purchased and collected seeds, rooted from cuttings, divided from mature clumps, and transplanted from the WRP and from donors.
Ultimately, we hope these woods will protected from human and dog intruders so that they can provide habitat for small animals.
