ENVIRONMENTAL ATLAS & WATERSHED MAPS
URBAN TRAIL MAP & ACTIVITY GUIDE
Written in both English and Spanish, the Urban Trail Map & Activity Guide has been developed with a generous grant from the Massachusetts Environmental Trust (MET) to improve access from neighborhoods and transit centers to waterfront parks and open space areas within the Mystic River Watershed as well as increase usage of recreational land. The guide will provide a learning opportunity that families, teachers, and community-based organizations can use as a self-guided tour of the watershed. The Activity Guide, as an accompaniment to the map, highlights special features of the open spaces and access points featured on the map. This map is available now and can be purchased for $5.
