About This Event
Experience the freshly ecologically restored Robert F. Smith Cold Brook Preserve in Harwich Port on the Cape during a guided walk led by Harwich Conservation Trust Board President Tom Evans. Tour the new half-mile All Persons Trail which crosses two bridges with views of Cold Brook flowing freely through the 66-acre Preserve for the first time in over a century. Learn how the recent eco-restoration project enhanced the health of the land and water for the benefit of people and wildlife.
In 2001, HCT acquired this property of retired bogs and surrounding upland in the heart of Harwich Port. In the fall of 2015, the Preserve was named in honor of Robert F. Smith, HCT Founding Trustee and President for 27 years. In 2024, after more than a dozen years of planning, nearly a mile of stream and 44 acres of wetland were rewilded to improve wildlife habitat diversity, wetland health, water quality, and ecological resilience to climate change.
