A 2018 study warned of "poor safety conditions" on the state roadway where a driver killed Father James B. Doran last week.

Beaver waddles around Lower Mills before rescuers manage to get it back to the Neponset

A beaver that clambered up from the Neponset River at Lower Mills last night didn't want to go back to its watery home - would-be rescuers spent nearly two hours trying unsuccessfully to convince it to head back down to the river before Milton Police came to the rescue with a recycling bin - which they gently placed atop it and then slowly pushed it to the water.

Here are a couple recent views of the Neponset River at Lower Mills / Milton Village, a short distance from the Neponset River Greenway Railtrail.

We've got the town of #MiltonMa being sued by #Massachusetts and #HurricaneMilton will be hitting the #SoutheastUS soon. Not a good time to be #Milton either way.

"When housing is so scarce that it slips out of reach of most people in the area, what is a community's responsibility to help? Should state government intervene, and if so, how far should it go?"

'The civil rights issue of our generation'? A battle over housing erupts in Massachusetts

Google Earth imagery of Buck Hill from June 3rd, 2024.

This photo is quite remarkable in that it clearly shows the remnants of the Buck Hill fire that occurred on April 27th, 2024, about five weeks prior. North is to the left. I orientated the image such that The Skyline Trail runs from top to bottom. One can clearly see that the fire devastated the north side of the hill. It seems to have burned right up to the Skyline trail and then somehow stopped. Did this happen because firefighting crews were able to get up that trail and establish a barrier? Or was it simply a case where the fire could not jump the trail, which is fairly wide? This photo also shows how lightly forested the top of Buck Hill actually is.
