I managed to get a tour of the DelCarte properties with Conservation Agent Nick Alferi and Conservation Commission member Jeff Livingstone in May. The brief tour helped me to better understand the potential for this property. I hope the pictures show here will help you as well.
This is a view of the one of the larger ponds. If my notes and orientation is correct this is the water held back by Dam 3.
This is the broken spillway of Dam 3
A rusted basket on some concrete at Dam 5
Refuse collecting below Dam 5
Clearly on one dam, looking back across the water to another dam, but I have misplaced the notes telling me exactly which one this is. Perhaps someone can help us identify which one this is?

Evidence of two-legged and four-legged 'beaver' damage.
The dams do need to get fixed, sooner or later. The area has so much potential to be a recreational gem for Franklin residents. I wonder what the presentation and discussion at the Town Council meeting on Weds will lead to?
