Cascading Waters can be found at 135 Olean Street on the eastern edge of Worcester's northwest parklands, the Cascades. The Cascades are 350 acres of park and conservation lands along the borders of Worcester, Paxton, and Holden, Massachusetts. Home to countless species of plants and animals, the Cascades are open to passive recreation year-round.

New Neighbor in the Cascades

Due to a tree hearing notice we have learned that the remaining private lot along Howard Street adjacent to Cascades West along its northern edge is being developed.

The lot is mostly in Paxton, with the road and a small bit of the land in Holden.

They appear to be looking to pave Howard Street running south from the intersection of Camp Street and Howard Street to the house. They are looking to take out as many as 28 trees to get this work done running to the lot.

We will be tracking the project and the work as it moves forward.

This morning Volunteer Ranger Bob Q. and I (Colin) were out at Nick's Woods preping for the National Trails Day projects on Saturday June 7th, 8:30-11:00 a.m. A new northern trail loop is in the works as is a stream crossing!

This afternoon John Coolidge of MassAudubon and I walked Bovenzi Conservation Park with an eye to abuter issues like sheds, fences or dumping on conservation land. We took digital photos, walked with GPS units and enjoyed the afternoon outside in the forest.
