Wildlife: Bird's Nest, FPPR4

Segment FPPR4 flows well near the start at
High Street. The underbrush is thick, and
access is difficult. Further on the brook
splits, and the area becomes swampy. Vegetation
is lush and includes skunk cabbage, yellow
and white flowers, and many trees, especially
oaks. The brook flows through a residential
area and under Conant Street. Most of the
land between Conant St. and Rte. 27 is dense
woods and wetlands. The area where Pratt's
Brook crosses Rte. 27 and flows past the
former Beacon Building has cleanup issues
that need to be addressed. |
