Nature in Boston

Boston, Massachusetts, pairs dense urban life with a surprisingly varied natural landscape. The Boston Common and Boston Public Garden offer green breathing room at the city's heart, while the Arnold Arboretum and Boston Nature Center reward visitors with close study of local plant and wildlife. Broader open spaces unfold at the Blue Hills Reservation, Beaver Brook Reservation, and Belle Isle Marsh Reservation. Along the coast, Annisquam Harbor Light and Bakers Island Light mark a shoreline shaped by the Atlantic, and Appleton Farms preserves working rural land within reach of the city. The Anderson Memorial Bridge traces a quieter path along the Charles River.
