Celebrate Earth Day by creating a viewing trail in the woods off of Wetherbee Street by the Bruce Freeman Rail Trail. Wetherbee Woods is the 33 acre backdrop to the “Agricultural Gateway” to Acton on Route 2. It is privately owned and has been offered to the Town of Acton for purchase for conservation purposes. ACT has been working with the landowner and theTown to bring this purchase forward at a future Town Meeting. At some point we will tour the public through this beautiful land, and introduce them to its many historical and natural features.
Here is a short news article about the property:
We would love your help with this effort. Most of the work can be done with pruning shears or clippers, with some small tree removal needed. Family groups, scout groups, students and everyone else is welcome. No experience needed - we'll show you what needs to be done.
- Wear: Boots or sturdy shoes, long sleeves and pants, spray for ticks, mosquitos!
- Bring: leather or cloth work gloves, bypass pruning shears or clippers, and sunscreen. If you don't have these items, we will have some extra tools and loaner gloves available.
- Expect: Weedy, rocky, wet and uneven terrain.
We'll have water and refreshments.
- Please register below. You'll be emailed a copy of this registration. Don't forget to fill out the required release form.
- Students, you may register for parents and siblings, but not for your friends, so we have contact information for each person if needed.
- Forward this Google Form to anyone who is interested!
- Scouts may sign up as a troop as long as there is at least one contact willing to send information on to each person planning to attend. Thank you!
