Come join neighbors and path users to help us keep the Watertown-Cambridge Greenway green!

We'll focus this session on both invasive removal and planting! Fall is a great time to plant, and we have lot of seedlings we want to get into the ground. Native plants help to keep invasive plants from spreading and support our native ecology. As time and weather allows, we'll:

• Cut and pull mugwort on the Greenway near the Belmont St. bridge.
• Plant black-eyed susans and other tough, native, sun-loving seedlings.
• Plant and care for shrubs in this area, weeding and adding rabbit cages.

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