---------------------------------------------
We work spring through fall in Blackstone Park Woods and on Blackstone Boulevard.   Our volunteers fix trails, care for trees and shrubs and plant new ones, protect steep slopes from damaging storms, and more. Join us once or often as we spend time outdoors, get some exercise, and share the joy of contributing to these special places.

We already have park-keeping dates planned through next fall, with more to come.
