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.

More hikers!

We have the WISE group coming this morning with Mass Audubon for a hike in the Cascades. They've got lovely weather for it!

At 9:30 am, it is 52 degrees and rising
79% humidity and falling
Barometer steady at 29.71 inches
Yesterday we had 0.43 inches of rain
Fire danger is LOW
The Cascades are running well

The beech and chesnut trees are just starting to turn. The maples, except for a few more spectacular examples along the road, are here struggling with any color at all: they've turned yellow with brown spots, and are the leaves are curling at the edges. Anyone know what's up with that? Too much rain?
