Join Weston Conservation Staff and WFTA volunteers as we gather at Norumbega Tower and Park, on Norumbega Rd, for our annual cleanup of Weston’s Charles River Trails! The trails along the Charles River in Weston are somewhat underutilized, but they provide a stunning view of the “Lakes Region” of the Charles River and provide Weston’s only access to that Muddy Water 🙂
Work will involve trash pickup and light trail work (pruning, moving downed branches, etc.). Norumbega Park is owned by the DCR and our trail cleanup is part of the DCR’s annual Park Serve Day.
When: Saturday, April 26th. 10 a.m. to noon
Where: Park and meet at Norumbega Tower. Here is a MAP.
Following the Stewardship Saturday, please consider stopping by Land’s Sake’s annual Earth Day Event.
More about Stewardship Saturdays: Join the Weston Conservation Department and Weston Forest and Trail Association (WFTA) on the third Saturday of every month for stewardship and camaraderie as we work collaboratively to manage nearly 2,000 acres of conservation land and over 90 miles of off-road trails in Weston. Both organizations rely on volunteers to assist with the management of these incredible resources. Stewardship Saturday projects include invasive plant management, trail construction, and maintenance, boardwalk and bridge construction, trash pickup, stone wall beautification, etc. This month’s project can be found at: Stewardship Saturday Program.
