Opportunity Details
Stewardship at the Westwood Greenway
Join Westwood Greenway as we clean water while providing a sanctuary for native habitat for birds, butterflies, and other animals next to one of the nation’s busiest light rail lines.
Why: Volunteers are crucial to the stewardship of this open space. By pulling weeds and triming invasive introduced plants, the native flora and fauna are able to grow and flourish.
