Physical Description:
Boundary II Urban Wild is a collection of property parcels to the southeast of MA DCR’s Stony Brook Reservation. This triangular wild abuts the George Wright Golf Course to the northeast and residential streets to the south. The topography of this wild is the main attraction. A series of granite ridges, including one that rises over 40’ above adjacent troughs, run southwesterly through the site. The high areas are dominated by oak and birch tree species, while the troughs support Buttonbush, Summersweet, and a variety of ferns.
