Join the Neponset River Watershed Association for a fun morning in the salt marsh, removing trash from this beautiful and unique ecosystem.  This is a great activity for families, teens, and adults alike!

The salt marsh acts as a filter for the Neponset, catching nutrients and debris as the water flows out to sea. As a result, we get a rich wetland habitat that supports a diversity of plants, fish, mollusks, insects and birds, but we also get an accumulation of trash from the water.  You’ll be helping clean the estuary so it can offer its beauty to many more generations.

Gloves and tools will be provided, but please wear rain boots or other mud-worthy shoes, and clothes you don’t mind getting dirty. Hats, sunscreen and insect repellent are recommended.

The NepRWA will provide coffee and bagels in the morning, and pizza for lunch — many thanks to Radio Coffeehouse, Brueggers Bagels, and The Currach Bistro & Pizza!

Meet at 10AM in the parking lot off Granite Avenue at Hill Top Street, in Dorchester. View a map of the area. Public transit options: Butler Station on the Mattapan Trolley line, or Granite Ave on the 215 Bus from Quincy Center / Ashmont Station. RSVP to NepRWA Intern Alexa McKenzie at alexamck@yahoo.com or 781-575-0354 ext. 306.
