Waverly Oaks
The Waverly (or Waverley) Oaks were a group of very large and very old
white oaks that grew near Boston, in a corner where the towns of
Watertown, Belmont and Waltham meet. I use the past tense because the
last of these big old oaks has apparently died. A monument has been erected in their memory.This file contains additional information, probably added from the digital camera or scanner used to create or digitize it.

of land preservation organizations gathered last week at Massachusetts
Audubon's Habitat Sanctuary to celebrate the completion of the Waverley
Trail and to recognize those dedicated to preserving Beaver Brook
Reservation.Within reservation, the area called Waverley Oaks has played a
significant role in this country's history of land preservation, as was
highlighted at yesterday's ceremony."Today is a celebration of the stewards of Waverley Oaks for 120
years," said Jim Levitt, a Belmont resident and director of the program
on conservation innovation at the Harvard Forest, Harvard University.
