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.

We expect to focus this work session on cutting a large patch of Japanese knotweed west of Arlington St.

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

Details:

* Starting point is southwest of the intersection with Arlington and Nichols St (near the bench). See the area highlighted in yellow in this screenshot.

* 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 2026 waiver, please review and sign the online waiver in advance (or bring the signed paper waiver with you).

* Participants under 18 must be accompanied by a parent or guardian, and added to the adult's waiver.
