Walk Along the Res September 28, 2022
For my first nature walk, I decided to take a walk around the Chestnut Hill Reservoir. I went late in the afternoon as the sun was just starting to set. it was cool in the shade but surprisingly hot when out in the sun. As I walked closer toward Cleveland Circle, I could hear the sound of cars driving through intersections and the sound of the green line chime as it went along. On the other side of the reservoir, however, I could hear the sounds of Mallard ducks quacking at each other (which became one of my observations). Unfortunately, I noticed a lot of trash on my walk. It was particularly gathered on the edge near the water. It makes sense that there was a noticeable amount of trash since there were a lot of people walking along the track around the reservoir. Many people were jogging, walking their dogs, or even sitting on a bench. It was a high traffic area to say the least. I bet a lot of the people walking the revveroir wouldn't be if the city charged people to use the space. Then again, it difficult to put a price on all the wildlife and scenery that is present at the reservoir. I don't take walks (especially nature walks) all too often, but I really enjoyed this one and I'll definitely start to utilize this space more often.
