• Centuries-old stone walls recall Wayland's agricultural past (waylandpost.org) — Stone walls along Wayland's roads and trails are more than pretty scenery—they're protected remnants of the town's farming past, now regulated under local scenic road bylaws. Experts and local officials explain how these walls trace old pastures, shape today's landscape, support wildlife, and reflect Wayland's effort to preserve its rural New England character amid ongoing suburban development.
