  • Historical Description of the Vegetation of the Boston Harbor Islands: 1600-2000
    Boston Harbor Istatids National Park Area: Natural Resources Overview 2005 Northeastern Naturalist 12(Special Issue 3): 13-30 Historical Description of the Vegetation of the Boston Harbor Islands: 1600-2000 JULIE A. RICHBURG' AND WILLIAM A. PATTERSON III'* Abstract - Historical accounts and descriptions of the Boston Harbor Islands were searched for references to the islands' vegetation. They indicate dra- matic changes in vegetation structure and composition since 1600. Many of the islands were wooded prior to European settlement, although Native American use is evident before 1600. Forests were cleared for agriculture, building materials, and firewood. Through the centuries since European settlement, the islands have variously supported municipal and military fa- cilities, some of which have since been abandoned. As use of the islands changed, the vegetation of the islands also changed; in some cases native trees and other species returned to abandoned areas, while in others new, exotic species became established or were planted. By the end of the 20"' century the vegetation had become a mixture of woodlands (roughly 25% of the islands as a whole), shrub thickets, open lands, and manicured land- scapes, all of which include a large component of non-native species. Introduction Being a focal point for the early history ofthe United States, Boston and its people have been studied for centuries. From the establishment of the Massachusetts Bay Colony to the Tea Party and the lives of early presidents, Boston holds a special place in the history of Massachusetts, New England, and the United States. The islands of Boston Harbor have also been studied for their role in protecting the new colony via forts and lighthouses, in commerce and fishing, and in social services.

  • Birding the Boston Harbor Islands
    Birding the Boston Harbor Islands John Move Introduction Boston Harbor Islands After nearly a decade of lobbying by m Representatives Gerry Studds and Joe Moakley and Senator Edward Keimedy, the Boston Harbor Islands National Recreation Area was created by an Act of * * Congress in 1996. Unique among sites in the National Parks system, it is managed by a partnership made up of the twelve owners and operators of the thirty islands named in the legislation together with several advocacy groups and the National Park Service (NPS) itself After a five-year process of study and public input, a management plan was recently released that will guide the park as it moves into the new millennium. Of interest to birders and to visitors in general is the recommendation that calls for increased public access to the islands. At the same time, several of the more remote islands, traditionally used by colonial nesting species, are to remain undeveloped. In operation since the early 1970s, the Boston Harbor Islands State Park, now a part of the Boston Harbor Islands National Park Area (the name it now goes by after Native Americans objected to using the phrase “recreation area” to describe islands on which some of their ancestors were imprisoned and died), is co-managed by the Massachusetts Department of Enviromnental Management (DEM) and the Metropolitan District Commission (MDC). Currently, six of the nineteen state-owned islands make up the nucleus of the Area, hosting nearly 125,000 visitors aimually. They are staffed seasonally and are accessible by ferry and water-taxi link from Boston as well as from the North and South Shores.

The improvements are part of the Patrick Administration’s commitment to expanding and enhancing recreational opportunities, especially in densely populated areas. “I am proud to celebrate the investments we have made in Peddocks Island, providing greater recreational opportunities for residents and visitors alike,” said Governor Patrick. “When we invest in our urban green space and infrastructure, we invest in growing our communities.” More than $15 million in private and public investments have been made in safety, utility and facility improvements to Peddocks Island during the Patrick Administration in partnership with the Boston Harbor Island Alliance. In 2012, DCR reopened Peddocks Island to the public with a newly renovated Welcome Center. A new Yurt campsite and comprehensive interpretive signage system was completed in 2013. In July 2014, DCR and the Boston Harbor Island Alliance completed the $1.8 million renovation of the Peddocks Island Chapel. The Boston Harbor Island Alliance invested over $14 million overall in improvements to Peddocks Island.
