Stream Restoration in Action: Fuller Brook Tour

  • Fuller Brook Linear Park 309 Washington Street Wellesley, MA, 02481 United States (map)

Come see stream restoration in action! Join us for a walking tour along Fuller Brook, a recently restored tributary of the Charles River in Wellesley, MA.

We will walk along the two-mile linear park that follows Fuller Brook and discuss interventions made to naturalize the stream channel, restore native plant communities, and reduce stormwater pollution. Then, we will discuss CRWA's ongoing work to restore other urban tributaries including the Muddy River, Cheesecake Brook, and Cantebury Brook.

Speakers include Brandon Schmitt, Natural Resources Commission Director for the Town of Wellesley, and Lisa Kumpf, River Science + Restoration Program Manager for Charles River Watershed Association.
