As part of the annual Westwood Town Cleanup, the Westwood Land Trust (WLT) will be collecting litter on one of the preserved properties protected by the Land Trust. Volunteers are requested to help with the effort on the afternoon of Sunday, May 1. The cleanup effort will run from 12 Noon - 2 p.m. at 795 Clapboardtree Street – originally part of the former Polaroid Complex off of Route 1A. After the cleanup, light refreshments will be provided, and volunteers are welcome to hike throughout the property. What a perfect way to enjoy a spring afternoon and contribute to the Earth Week celebration!

For access to this land, take Rte 1A south from Clapboardtree Street and take the second right at One Upland Road into the Upland Woods Industrial Park. Continue straight on the service road, passing the Universal Technical Institute (UTI) on your left. At the end, park along the sides of the service road; the preserved property will be in front of you.

So mark your calendar for the cleanup on Sunday, May 1. All ages are welcome. Garbage bags will be supplied. Any questions, call Andrea Goldberg at 617-461-2937 or Karen Manor Metzold 617-697-5671. Learn more about Westwood’s Town Cleanup at www.keepourtownclean.com.
