Boundary I Urban Wild

Highlight • Forest

The DCR has acquired the majority of this site and has incorporated it into the Stony Brook Reservation. However, one City-owned parcel adjacent to the George Wright Golf Course and High Point Village contains a healthy cattail marsh surrounded by upland forest.

The wetland is believed to be a habitat for the rare spotted turtle.

A mixed deciduous forest, predominantly composed of oaks and birch, covers the upland areas while the lowland area hosts traditional wetland species such as sweet pepperbush, highbush blueberry, lowbush blueberry, and witchhazel. Teaberry, sweet fern, and ferns are common groundcover.

Ecologically and topographically, the parcel is contiguous with the reservation. In fact, the only feature marking the site is the fence and rock wall that divides the parcel from the golf course

Green Street

Highlight (Segment) • Climb

Green St is a lovely little climb. It’s a narrow road with very little traffic, and tightly surrounded by pine trees. Something about the start reminds me of an Alpine climb. Cycle all the way through to the end, and decide to take on the Great Blue Hill across the road, or cruise back and turn on to Hemmenway Drive, another quiet ‘private’ road, where you’ll see more wild turkeys than cars.

May 9, 2024, Burning off the frustration caused by people

After a rollercoaster evening and morning, i needed to burn off the frustration. So much so i forgot my water bottle. Riding a bike always improves my state of mind!

It was another grey and wet day today. I was itchy being inside, so i wrapped up and went for it. Its only water after all.
