About the Event

Join AmeriCorps Community Engagement Coordinator Jonathan Haarstick, AmeriCorps Land Stewardship Coordinator Matt Morris, Bolton Conservation Agent Rebecca Longvall, and Bolton Trail Committee members as we care for our property while remaining socially distant! *Please continue to maintain a social distance of 6’ from attendants and other residents while on the property*

Celebrate the onset of Spring with the staff and volunteers that maintain our conservation properties throughout Bolton! We are continuing the invasive species management plan efforts throughout our conservation properties by focusing on this property. The team will have a couple weed wrenches provided by SuAsCo Cooperative Invasive Species Management Area organization (SuAsCo CISMA). If you are a frequent visitor, a community member or someone just looking for a great volunteer opportunity this is the job for you!

We will be meeting at the Bowers Springs Conservation Area parking lot off of Flanagan Rd in Bolton, MA. Please confirm your participation in the event by registering below so we can provide you with the required guidelines and safety training. The safety training must be completed prior to the event and you must send the certificate of completion to the conservation office as proof.

This event is free and open to the public. If the parking area is full please, we urge you to utilize one of the other trail heads into the Bowers Springs conservation area! Maps can be found at www.boltontrails.org or on the town website under the Conservation Commission page.

Pet Policy: For this event we encourage you to leave your canine companions at home to ensure no accidental breach of social distancing measures or hazards.
