Synopsis

This book is an enthusiastic and comprehensive guide to Middlesex Fells, a 4,000-acre natural park situated about five miles north of Boston, Massachusetts. Its 150-year history is related, from the original proposition of the area to be used as a forest preserve and natural park to present day efforts to preserve its unique character and delicate ecosystem. The author provides insight into the efforts of a dedicated group of local figures to establish legal protection for the area in the late 19th century, including the challenges and successes they faced, as well as exploring the proposals, developments, and activities that have shaped the area since then.
