Upper
Charles Conservation, Inc. retained Mason & Associates
to assess wetlands, wildlife, and vegetation on a 127-acre
site located in Milford, Massachusetts. The assessment was
funded by a Riverways Grant awarded to Upper Charles Inc.
by the Commonwealth of Massachusetts Riverways Program.
The site is located east of Route 85, and is in the center
of a larger undeveloped area known as the Charles River
Headwaters Area. Mason & Associates conducted surveys
of vegetation, wetlands, wildlife, and vernal pool habitat.
The firm prepared a technical report including recommendations
for future management, incorporating the ecologically sensitive
placement of a bicycle path along the railroad right-of-way,
west of the property. |
