We hope you will join us for a spring clean-up at Mattahunt Woods. During this event, City staff will guide participants on a sneak peak tour of the restoration project. We will then work together to remove any lingering trash/debris in the property. For more information, visit the restoration project website here. 

Additionally, the City hopes to engage Mattapan residents - especially neighbors of the Mattahunt Woods Urban Wild - interested in forming and leading a Friends of Mattahunt Woods community group. While the City will be responsible for long-term maintenance and upkeep of Mattahunt Woods following the restoration project’s completion, we would like to help initiate a local Friends of Mattahunt Woods group to help build community stewardship. This event will be one step toward that long-term goal. 

MEETING LOCATION: Mattahunt Woods Colorado Street entrance, next to 199 Colorado Street, Mattapan, MA 02126

WHAT TO WEAR: Comfortable close-toed shoes, long pants, clothes that can get dirty, a hat that provides shade

WHAT TO BRING: Bug spray, sunscreen, water

Gloves, tools, and snacks will be provided
