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.

Ice damage survey going on


Nice article (with photos!) in today's Telegram and Gazette on the survey work being done by Professor Hansen and his class at Worcester State College. He's included two land trust properties (the photos were all taking here at the Cascades), the other being God's Acre up by the airport.

Does GWLT own God's Acre, or does the city?

If it's the former, some of the neighbors (well, my husband and I) are willing to put up a gate or other barrier to stave off some of the (vehicle-related) dumping that goes on on the paths. Let me know if that would be a possibility -- we've been doing Earth Day cleanups there the past two years, and any way we can block vehicle access to paths would only improve things for next year and beyond.

Nicole,

It is indeed city owned, but I am sure we could all work together to get a gate up to stave the dumping. Please email me colin@gwlt.org so we can figure this out.
