  Help keep the Greenway green!

  Come join neighbors and path users as we work to remove invasive plants and restore wildlife habitat on the Watertown-Cambridge Greenway.

  The focus for each Greenway work day varies, depending on which invasive species are the highest priority at the time. This will likely be the last work day of the 2025 season, and we'll likely focus on getting leftover seedlings into the ground and caring for areas with fall blooming plants. We'll update this page as Greenway conditions change, and make some decisions on the ground, depending on weather and the number of folks who join us!

  Register to get reminders and event updates (and help us ensure we have enough snacks!).
  

  Details:

  * Starting point is at the trail intersection between Watertown Mall and 490 Arsenal Way (with bench and bike racks).

  * Please bring: drinking water, a hat, and garden gloves if you have them. Please wear long pants, socks, and closed toe/sturdy footwear. A kneeling pad or similar foam pad can be helpful. We also recommend long sleeves for protection against bugs and occasional poison ivy.

  * We will provide trash bags, and extra gardening gloves and other tools.

  * If you haven't yet signed a 2025 waiver, you will be asked to sign this waiver upon arrival. Any participants under 18 must be accompanied by an adult, or bring a waiver signed by a parent or guardian in advance.

• Seed Harvesting from Filippello Butterfly Garden

  • When

  •  
    2:00 PM - 3:30 PM
  • Location
    Filippello Park

  Join us in the garden for in-person demonstrations and practice on seed harvesting!

  Learn about different kinds of seed dispersal, how to tell when seeds are ready, how to collect and clean in the field!

  Volunteers will be able to take some seeds home with them, but we will be collecting most of the seeds to contribute to Mystic Charles Pollinator Pathways' annual seed distribution efforts.

  Later in the year these seeds will be mixed with other seed donations of the same species and packaged into individual envelopes and distributed for free to gardeners in the Mystic and Charles Rivers regions.
