'What a natural mountain stream should look like': Broad Brook is finally freed from dam (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The removal of the crumbling Broad Brook dam on Sept. 8 opened a stretch of 22 miles of connected water for fish and other wildlife and will add a couple acres either to the Trustees of Reservations Mountain Meadow Reserve or Green Mountain National Forest (GMNF), thereby protecting the last few hundred yards of the popular Broad Brook Trail. The only building near Broad Brook, as it descends through GMNF in Vermont, is the Seth Warner Shelter on the Appalachian Trail. The Broad Brook Trail foll
The parable of the Adirondack shelter (opens the original)
Read excerpt
This is a parable about Adirondack-style shelters. There are dozens of them on state land in Berkshire County ârustic, three-sided, usually facing a fire circle. The one in the photograph is on the Bellows Pipe Trail, where it meets the Bellows Pipe Ski Trail, about two-thirds of the way up the north side of Mount Greylock.

(It had planned on adding one large one, but other utilities under the road limited space.) The pipes increased the volume of water that could pass underneath Main Street. On the Spruces side of Route 2, DOT daylighted 500-feet of the drainage, leaving about 1,000 feet of pipe before the Hoosic River. Back i
Williams College charts course for energy future (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Tanja Srebotnjak, director of Williams Collegeâs Zilkha Center for the Environment, told an audience of students and faculty in January that renewable energy makes sense as a way to combat climate change â and also economically. Williams is now going all in for electricity, especially electricity generated on campus by solar panels. In addition to panels already operating, such as in connection with the â62 Environmental Center, Williams has added panels on the Wachenheim Science Center an
