On Tuesday, May 8 members of the Environmental Association made a trip to Broad Brook between Parade Street and Starrs Road. We took some pictures of plants and did a GPS reading (UTM). Can you identify the plants in the pictures below?
We followed a path that led us to the businesses on Starrs Road. We were alarmed to find the pollution and garbage that empties from a pipe and flows into Broad Brook.

Am pleased to see a Yarmouth group of students working on Broad Brook. This is our only central fresh water waterway. In the past it has been badly treated by dredging, straightening, filling of its flood plain, pollution from storm drains, and other activities.
Now that the Town has protected Broad Brook you are in the forefront of its restoration and revitalization. I am looking forward to the day when we have a greenway along the brook with walks and observation points so that people can really enjoy it. You are helping to make this Yarmouth's Central Park!
