In 1935 the F.E.R.A. and W.P.A. conducted erosion and hazard-removal work along Beaver Dam Brook in Framingham, Mass. “The brook was cleaned out, shaped and the bushes cut on the banks from the Ashland line to the B. &. A. Railroad near Waverly Street, a distance of about 3.1 miles.”

This all sounds great! is there more information about Beaver Dam Brook project? This could be such an amazing resource, perhaps as a natural park with walks and controlled / protected water ways.
What a great idea! Perhaps you could garner support for such a project through our Site Preservation page. Good luck!
