The Lawrence Woods of the Middlesex Fells

I am currently exploring and studying through photography the flora, fungi, and occasional fauna of the section of this Greater Boston Reservation that lies to the southwest of South Border Road. You can find prior photos on Instagram @heirloomconservatory
