Project Highlights
INDIAN RIDGE HABITAT RESTORATION A three-phase restoration project was launched in late 2019 on Indian Ridge , one of Mount Auburn ’ s most popular and historically significant areas . By removing invasive species like Norway Maples on the slopes , introducing native plants like Silverbell trees along the Ridge and surrounding areas , and replacing turf grasses with wildflowers , this restoration will ultimately improve the habitat for native birds while beautifying it for human visitors .
WASHINGTON TOWER PRESERVATION ASSESSMENT Few landmarks at Mount Auburn are as beloved as Washington Tower . Working with the awardwinning architectural firm McGinley Kalsow & Associates , we launched the first step of a multiyear project to preserve the Tower for future generations . This preservation assessment highlighted important structural repairs , window tracery restorations , lighting system improvements , and accessibility issues that will guide our forthcoming plans for preservation .
