4. Habitat Preservation
The North Coastal Watershed is contained within two ecoregions; the Southern New England Coastal Plains and Hills and the Boston Basin. The Southern New England Coastal Plains and Hills consists of low rolling hills with a range of generally acidic soil types. Various estimates by experts place the number of natural communities and rare species and habitats at roughly 150. The Boston Basin is almost entirely urban and suburban in character with relatively few natural communities. Three major rivers drain it to the south and the Saugus River along its northern boundaries. Experts place the number of natural communities, rare species and habitats within the Boston Basin at 38.
