The Urban Wilds Program welcomes residents to join a hands-on event to improve the Dale Street entrance and trail at Sherrin Woods Urban Wild. This event comes one year after the City officially protected the land, which was possible thanks to long-term efforts from residents, the Dale Street Neighborhood Watch, the Southwest Boston Community Development Corporation (SWBCDC), and many others. Now that this forest is protected from development, Urban Wilds staff and the SWBCDC's Green Team have made significant progress toward making this entrance and trail safe, welcoming, and green.
Please join us to continue work on trail improvements, trash cleanup, invasive plant removal, and other potential projects in the woods. Volunteers can expect to use hand tools such as shovels, pick mattocks (like a pickaxe), loppers, rakes, and other landscaping tools. Tasks with these tools will involve standing, walking, and for those who are able, crouching down, digging, picking up and carrying various materials, and other common tasks associated with gardening and landscaping.
No experience necessary! Urban Wilds staff will provide tools, work gloves, and instructions. You are welcome to bring your own work gloves and tools.
Please be sure to bring water, sturdy footwear, and clothes for working outdoors.
