Smith Point Trail Opening, May 15, 2021
May 22, 2021
On May 15, a ribbon-cutting ceremony was held to celebrate Waltham Eagle Scout Tyler Mailman and the trail he built at Smith Point. Smith Point is a small parcel on Hardy Pond owned by the Waltham Land Trust. Over the course of a few months, Tyler and his team of volunteers removed and relocated boulders, smoothed the surface of the pathway where possible, and built "bog boards" in areas that become muddy. Waltham Mayor McCarthy, members of Tyler's family and troop joined representatives of the Waltham Land Trust and Hardy Pond Association in attending. Thanks for the work, Tyler!

The Natural History of the Cornelia Warren Estate: Camp Cedar Hill, Girl Scouts of Eastern North America by Lesley Sneddon Now Available! Camp Cedar Hill is a portion of the former estate of Cornelia Warren . In keeping with her desire to maintain the land for public benefit, Ms. Warren wished to carry this tradition beyond her life by stating so in her will. After her death, the Trustees of Cedar Hill deeded five parcels of the estate among several beneficiaries, including the Massachusetts Girl Scouts (now the Girl Scouts of Eastern Massachusetts).
