Today's destination: Crane Ledge Woods
Today, The Common heads to Hyde Park in Boston, where a coalition of residents are fighting to preserve a property known as Crane Ledge Woods. The 24 acre parcel is the largest unprotected wild in Boston, and is currently being prospected by Texas-based development company, Lincoln Properties, who hopes to build a 270 unit apartment complex at the site. Residents say that losing the woods will exacerbate the effects of climate change in the community, such as storm flooding and urban heat.
