One of the new interpretive signs recently installed in the Abbey Brook Watershed.

Thirty new interpretive environmental education signs have been installed in the Abby Brook Watershed.  The signs provide information on the forest, water, wildlife, soils and other components of the environmental makeup of the Abbey Brook Conservation area.  These signs provide simple to understand technical information, along with highlights of the value of these components in the landscape.
