At 11:00 am the snow began and Bill Schold, Bill Adams, Sue Sienkiewiez and I were already preparing for our First Day Hikers to arrive. Sue started and stoked a welcoming fire in the large stone fireplace in the Pond House while Bill and Bill worked to keep up with clearing the snow from the walkways. Tips on getting healthy and being ‘green’ awaited the guests along with hot chocolate. Soon people were shaking off the snow and stamping their boots entering the Pond House to meet up with the other like-minded first-dayers. At 12:00 sharp, the group gathered on the front steps for a welcome, an overview of the day’s event, and a handed out the “I hiked in a state park on New Year’s group picture. Forty-one people were on the pond loop Day” stickers. The group sat by the fire enjoying hot hike including such notables as Director Priscilla Geigis, chocolate and had conversation about what they saw on District Manager Evelyn Jimenez, a volunteer from the trail.

  • Cultural Resources Inventory
    Town of Saugus Historical Commission Town Hall 298 Central Street Saugus, MA 01906 CULTURAL RESOURCES INVENTORY Updated: May 2012 The Town of Saugus contains hundreds of sites and structures having architectural, archeological, or historical significance. At the present time, five properties are listed on the National Register of Historic Places, two of which have been designated as National Historic Landmarks (NHL) by the Secretary of the Interior. National Register Properties: Boardman House (NHL, 10/15/1966) Breakheart Reservation Parkways (8/11/2003) Lynn Fells Parkway (5/9/2003) Saugus Iron Works (NHL, 10/15/1966) Saugus Town Hall (6/20/1985) The Commission completed an Inventory of Cultural and Historical Resources in 1986. This inventory was largely confined to resources that were at least 50 years old, and did not include many additional resources reflecting the growth of the Town since World War II. The results of this inventory have been entered into the Massachusetts Historical Commission’s MACRIS database. With a few exceptions, the inventory forms, along with inventory records created by other federal and state agencies, are available for downloading from the MACRIS site (http://mhc-macris.net/). The following listing is in two parts. The first lists properties included in the MACRIS database, while the second shows those properties which the Commission has identified for potential inclusion in the inventory. This includes both older properties not included in the previous inventory and those which have achieved the 50 year age criteria since the initial survey was done. It should be noted that the list of potential additions will expand as individual properties within areas are inventoried or miscellaneous residential properties are identified as being significant either as architecture or association.

  • Massachusetts Geological Society
    Massachusetts Geological Society First Annual Field Trip July 18, 2015 Geology on Foot: Rocks and Landforms of the Lynn Woods and Breakheart Reservations Leaders: Dr. Lindley Hanson and Dr. Rory McFadden, Salem State University Start time: 8:30 am: Lynn Woods, Great Woods Road entrance by Walden Pond This trip will focus on the geology and geomorphology of the Lynn Woods Reservation. Time and permission allowing, we will continue to and finish up in the Breakheart Reservation. Plan to be on foot for most of the day. The morning will start with a walking tour of Lynn Woods Reservation where we will look at the Devonian Peabody Granite, the Walden Pond Fault, the Neoproterozoic Dedham North and surrounding Neoproterozoic volcanic rocks. In the Breakheart Reservation will take a close look at the Westboro Formation, the oldest formation in the Avalon Terrane, the overlying volcanic rocks, and their relationship with the Dedham (?) Granite. We will present new data and bring up several controversial topic for discuss. The Walden Pond Fault is not exposed, but it is inferred from topography and the juxtaposition of Devonian against Precambrian rocks. The fault is somewhat enigmatic because its sense of motion, orientation, and timing are unknown. Does it in fact exist? What do the glaciated exfoliation domes in the Peabody Granite reveal about the depth of glacial erosion? What does Union Rock, a well-known glacial erratic, reveal about the Walden Pond Fault? Could the volcanic rocks, assigned to the Lynn Volcanic Complex, in the Lynn and Breakheart Reservations belong to the older Middlesex Fells Volcanic Complex? What’s the evidence? Is Dugeon Rock a mafic dike or a lava flow? Are there blocks of eroded mylonite in the Westboro Formation and what could they indicate? Pack your lunch, bring rain gear, and wear comfortable clothes and footgear.

  • Improved Methods of Visitor Attendance Collection at Massachusetts State Parks Project Sponsor: the Department of Conservation and Recreation of Massachusetts
    41-HXA-B116 Improved Methods of Visitor Attendance Collection at Massachusetts State Parks Project Sponsor: The Department of Conservation and Recreation of Massachusetts An Interactive Qualifying Project Report submitted to the Faculty of the WORCESTER POLYTECHNIC INSTITUTE in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the Degree of Bachelor of Science Submitted by: Nancy Bezies Bryce Calvetti Matthew Poppa October 12, 2011 Submitted to: Holly Ault, WPI Professor, Project Advisor James Hanlan, WPI Professor, Project Advisor Garry Briere, DCR, Bureau Chief of Recreations, On-site Liaison Johanna Zabriskie, DCR, Human Resources, On-site Liaison This report represents the work of three WPI undergraduate students submitted to the faculty as evidence of completion of a degree requirement. As such, it expresses the views of the authors and does not represent the policy or views of the sponsoring agency. WPI routinely publishes these reports on its website without editorial or peer review. Abstract The team conducted this research to help the Massachusetts Department of Conservation and Recreation (DCR) improve their state park attendance collection methods. We divided the DCR’s parks into categories based on modes of public access to the facilities. Then we conducted a survey and phone interviews with state park directors across the nation to identify state of the art visitor attendance collection methods currently being employed throughout the nation. We used a performance characteristics scale to rate each method according to the categories of park access. Based on this scale, we recommended the most effective methods of tracking park attendance at various kinds of state parks to the DCR.

Regional Context Comprised of 9,904 acres, Paxton is bordered on the west by Oakham and Spencer, on the north by Rutland, on the east by Holden and on the south by Worcester and Leicester. Paxton’s hilly terrain features rounded drumlins and winding stream valleys. The Town center is located along Route 122, which runs through Paxton in a northwest to southeast direction. Route 31 (east and west) bisects Route 122 at Paxton Center, and Route 56-south links up to Route 122 in the southeast corner of Town, while Route 56-north branches off Route 122 in the center of Paxton. Paxton is the home of Anna Maria College, which is located off of Grove Street in the northeast corner of Town. Paxton has an abundance of permanently protected natural areas, including Moore State Park (located west of town center) and the Moose Hill Wildlife Management Area (southwest corner of town), and watershed lands that are closed to the public. Paxton has long been one of Greater Worcester’s most rural communities, with a rich agricultural history. Although the number of active farms in Paxton has dwindled over the last fifty years, the Town still retains its rural character and charm. Paxton qualifies as a “bedroom” community as the vast majority of its workforce (88%) works outside of Town (source: 1990 US Census). Just over half of the workers that constitute Paxton’s workforce have jobs in the City of Worcester.
