Dedication of the Waverley Trail
On Arbor Day (April 27) 2007, a group of Belmont and Waltham
citizens, joined by town, city and state officials, celebrated the
dedication of the Waverley Trail. Representatives of the Eagle
Eye Institute and YouthBuild were on hand to lead the tree-
planting efforts in both Belmont and Waltham. The trail dedication
and associated tree plantings in the Beaver Brook Reservation
were the central focal point of the state’s multi-site Arbor Day
festivities. A New England Cable News story made in the days
leading up to the dedication is available here.
Great Oaks from Little Acorns Grow
As reported in the Boston Globe on Thursday, June 11, 2009 the
newly completed Waverley Trail tells the story an important
innovation in the history of the American conservation movement.
Under the headline “Celebrating the roots of the land trust
movement,” Kathleen Berge of the Globe’s staff reports how the
natural beauty in the Massachusetts Department of Conservation
and Recreation’s Beaver Brook Reservation – a site that spans
the town line of Belmont and Waltham – has gained national
attention from the 1890s to the present day.
The story includes quotes from trail enthusiasts from near and far:
“‘It was the love of these oaks in that place that sparked what is a
national and international movement,’ said Rand Wentworth,
president of the Land Trust Alliance, a national group based in
Washington, D.C.”
