In 1996, the Massachusetts Horticultural Society (MHS) signed a lease with the Commonwealth of Massachusetts to develop a hands-on horticultural education center at Elm Bank Reservation. The project involved the restoration, renovation, and conservation of Elm Bank to meet the growing need for horticultural education and information. Beals and Thomas, Inc. provided the MHS with a wide range of services during the development process, including detailed ground and aerial surveys, a comprehensive site analysis that encompassed topography, geography, soils, flora and fauna, wetlands, hydrology, land use history, easements, utilities and issues related to hazardous waste contamination. Regulatory considerations included the site's historical classification, the abutting Charles River and man-made inlet, the presence of municipal water wells, and a portion of the property designated as a hazardous waste site. In addition, Beals and Thomas, Inc. supported the restoration of the property's historical gardens and advised the MHS on various land management issues. |
