MEDFORD — Bryan Hamlin did not expect to find much of interest when he and his wife, Anne, embarked one Sunday in April 2003 on a walk through the Middlesex Fells Reservation, the large nature preserve near their new house.
Hamlin — a plant lover who had “botanized” in far more glamorous landscapes — entered the Fells with modest expectations. But as they hiked deeper in, he was impressed by the richness of the flora, and started noting what he saw.

All the more reason to change what the DCR called "the culture of non-compliance at the Reservation"--dogs (and people) romping off-trail. The DCR observed 77% of dog owners letting their pooches off-leash in 2010/11--and when you have 10-20 dogs arriving at a trailhead an hour, that's a lot of dogs. See my posts at GreenSpaceBoston.com.
