Free weed removal [Green & Open Somerville]

[Rachel Grey]

Neighbors,

I'm helping Green & Open Somerville to organize one of their invasive species removal events for August 3. In particular we're targeting the Davis Square area, and Black Swallow-wart (BSW), which the city urges people to remove each year and has again in 2025:

We are currently looking for more sites where we have permission to weed!  If you own property in Davis and would be okay with us removing BSW from it, please reply and let me know the address. We're happy to work with you to ensure that we don't disturb anything other than the weeds. 

We are also accepting volunteers to do the weeding with us (sign-up form here), but right now we have more volunteers than sites. 

best,

Rachel Grey   (37 Chester St #3)

How does someone get your information. I have a few people on my street that may be interested?

Just as a note, we've gotten a lot of addresses from this list -- which is great -- and are now looking for volunteers just as much as properties to weed! 

best,

Rachel
