Acton Shoreline Survey
Spring 1998
Stream Survey Goal
The goal of the Spring 1998 Shoreline Survey was to make a visual survey of the two primary stream systems in Acton: the Nashoba Brook system (including the incoming streams, Butter Brook, Will's Hole Brook and Conant Brook) and the Fort Pond Brook system (including the incoming streams, Guggins Brook, Inch Brook, Grassy Pond Brook, Pratt's Brook and Coles Brook). Both stream systems feed into the Assabet River. The Acton Stream Teams sought to identify and reduce sources of pollution and excessive nutrients to Acton waterways, and to raise awareness of the wildlife habitat and recreational opportunities provided by Acton's local streams.
Topics... In conclusion...
The Acton Stream Teams look forward to continuing to raise public awareness of the wildlife habitat and recreational opportunities provided by Acton's local streams, and also of ways we can all be better stewards of our rivers and streams.
Please look at some of the Stream Teams' recent Projects and Events and the Stewardship Handouts.
