Welcome to Acton's Stream Team


Survey
FPPR4, Pratt's Brook
  • Upstream Border: Rte. 27, near former Beacon building
  • Downstream Border: High Street @ Valley Road

Team: Nancy, Don and Daniel Hunton, Eileen Morange


Wildlife: Bird's Nest, FPPR4

 
Segment FPPR4 flows well near the start at High Street. The underbrush is thick, and access is difficult. Further on the brook splits, and the area becomes swampy. Vegetation is lush and includes skunk cabbage, yellow and white flowers, and many trees, especially oaks. The brook flows through a residential area and under Conant Street. Most of the land between Conant St. and Rte. 27 is dense woods and wetlands. The area where Pratt's Brook crosses Rte. 27 and flows past the former Beacon Building has cleanup issues that need to be addressed.
