PLYMOUTH – It may just be the ultimate Earth Day project.
Volunteers this week pitched in to help plant some 500 trees and shrubs along a meandering stream bed that just two months ago was a man-made pond feeding old cranberry bogs.
Alissa Young, the property manager for Tidmarsh Wildlife Sanctuary in Manomet, acknowledges it looks a bit like a war zone today, with stumps and brush scattered in piles across the muddy landscape.
But in just a few weeks, the property at 60 Beaver Dam Road should already start looking better. And before long, visitors to the nature trail system will have trouble distinguishing it from the hundreds of adjacent acres where cranberry was also once king.
