• Winchester receives update on Davidson Park Stream Restoration project (winchesternews.org) — Winchester officials and the Mystic River Watershed Association recently outlined next steps for restoring the Aberjona River as it runs through town-owned Davidson Park, a key local green space and trail hub.
