I am always glad to see this sign. It means that my town is protecting land in an undeveloped condition for the enjoyment of the citizenry. This one is across the road (Beaver Dam Road) from the new Mass Audubon Tidmarsh Sanctuary in Manomet. The area had formerly been an active cranberry bog.
The property is in the process of becoming another resource in the town of Plymouth's trail system.
Although grasses are taking over the bog, the millions of berries still on the plants give a purplish tint to the darker surface areas.
The town has constructed a small parking area at the entrance to the trail but I haven't been able to find any written material about it yet on their website (at this link).
I'm excited about this trail, how long are the trails? Did you walk them all?
ReplyDeleteSteve, thanks for commenting. I just wandered somewhat randomly within the open space/bog area. I don't really know where/how many/how long the trails are until the town publishes some official information.
