harvard forest

The first is beautiful and peaceful, bit what i found most interesting is the evidence of experiments in progress by the Harvard school.

The museum building includes expert explanations of the area's progression as a forest. Clear explanations presented by university professors. Focuses on the Quabbin Reservoir and watershed areas. Nicely done.

a diorama of area forests and lands through the years. Several hundred acres of maintained forest trails to enjoy.

The pond in the map is called Harvard Pond or sometimes, Brooks Pond. The roads around the pond and forest are absolutely beautiful to walk with only one problem. I can't rate it as excellent because the area around the pond has a large population of ticks.
