Herring Run in Braintree

When you see this sign you will be in the right place

There is parking in the lot.

Just put 10 Plain Street, Braintree in your GPS

This was a large project. Because of the determination 

of dedicated people, the dam was removed and the 

herring are swimming  again.

There is a wonderful boardwalk constructed 

over the marsh area.

When you get to the end of the boardwalk continue

on the paved surface.

There is a great observation platform.

The day I was there my timing wasn't good

so I didn't see any herring but I did meet

Aidan, an ecology student from the area going

to school in Maryland. We need more students

focusing on the environment now more than ever.

Earth Day is Everyday!!!!!

Here Comes Spring 

 Everything is waking up

Dan loved this time 

of the year

Crocuses a sign of Spring

Daffodils are Sunshine

for the Soul

Time for all of us to wake up 

to possibilities

Wishing you joy

Today is March 18th. It's Dan's Birthday.

Dan wouldn't want to see us sad.  Remember his song "A Smile in your Heart" He'd want to see us do that when we think of him.  He would be happy to see us continue to fight for the environment and that's what I'm going to try to do. I hope all Dan's friends will join me living as environmentally friendly as we can.

It's been a long time since anything has been posted.  Dan made his last post in August 2025.

Dan did most of the posts. I will be continuing to make posts. This blog is Dan and Marilyn's. I will be talking about our Wildlife Sanctuary. We started it together and it will be continuing.

Visit our website e-awakening.com. In the future I will be updating the website too.

Still used to feed homeless wildlife. They are loosing habitat due to development.

Wild Plants and flowers is what we strive for. Insect protein is what baby birds need to grow.

Herring at and Upstream of Armstrong Dam Removal Site

Hi Dan and Marilyn,

Give nature a little and it will thrive. The river is freed! After 200 years of blockage the Monatiquot River Restoration Project has been complete and nature bounced back better than anticipated. This spring river herring made their journey back to headwater spawning habitats for the first time in over 200 years. And past few weeks baby fish have been spotted from the spawn. Access to the river for people has also been restored with the opening of an accessible walking trail and boardwalk. People are connected back with nature and nature is healing itself beautifully 

Best,
Robert
