Mattahunt Woods Ribbon Cutting & Community Celebration

Please join the City of Boston for a ribbon cutting and community celebration for the completion of the Mattahunt Woods Urban Wild Restoration project. This will be a family-friendly event with activities for children and resources from various City of Boston Departments. This event is free and open to the public. WHEN:&nbsp;Friday, October 24 from 1:00 - 3:00 p.m. WHERE:&nbsp;Colorado Street entrance;&nbsp;210 Colorado Street, Boston, MA 02126 ABOUT THE PROJECT: Mattahunt Woods consists of over eight acres of secluded forested wetlands in Mattapan.&nbsp;The site provides important wildlife habitat and native vegetation, and&nbsp;mitigates the impacts of stormwater runoff, but had become degraded over time. The City launched a capital improvement project in early 2023 to study the site, engage the Mattapan community to inform the project, and design a new trail system and other site improvements. Project goals and outcomes include removing hazardous trees and invasive species and increasing native vegetation; preserving and enhancing on-site wetlands; creating a trail system throughout the property improving site access and wayfinding/signage; and enhancing the connection of the property to the nearby Mattahunt Elementary School. Site restoration and trail construction began in Summer 2024 in partnership between the City of Boston's Environment Department, Parks and Recreation Department, Office of Green Infrastructure, and PowerCorps Boston.&nbsp; To learn more, visit the&nbsp;<a href="https://www.boston.gov/departments/environment/project/mattahunt-woods-improvements">project website</a>&nbsp;or check out this&nbsp;<a href="https://www.youtube.com/shorts/mkmMhZ6ywd8">video about the project</a>!
