Stewardship Saturday at Webb State Park
Join park stewards and MA Department of Conservation & Recreation for a day of landscape and ecosystem management in Webb State Park, an area that is in a much needed reprieve from overgrowth! As we work together to enhance habitat for native birds, insects, trees, and wildflowers, we'll explore the local flora and fauna and discuss the ecology, natural history, and cultural significance of the landscapes within Boston Harbor Islands National and State Park.
Registration is required for this event. See “Day as a Park Steward” for what it’s like to join us!
Directions: Please meet staff at Webb State Park, 371 River St, Weymouth, MA 02191. Parking is available, but carpooling is strongly encouraged. We will send more information to registrants about parking and carpooling prior to the event. Please reach out to the site contact from this listing if you have any concerns or questions about getting to the worksite from the greater Boston area.
What to wear: Long-sleeved shirts, long pants, socks, closed-toe shoes, and layers for the weather. Conditions can be unpredictable so please monitor the weather in the days leading up to the event and dress appropriately.
What to bring: Please bring a lunch and plenty of water in a reusable water bottle. Sunscreen and a hat are always recommended. Tools, gloves, and PPE will be provided.
Please note- there IS a bathroom and access to drinking water at Webb State Park. This event will run rain or shine, however, it may be cancelled due to severe weather.
