  • Saturday, November 10, 9:00 am – 12:00 noon – Bussey Brook Urban Wild Cleanup

    The City of Boston’s Environment Department and Parks and Recreation Department are organizing a clean-up at the Bussey Brook Meadow Urban Wild in Jamaica Plain. The cleanup will take place on Saturday, November 10, from 9 a.m. – 12 p.m. at 407 South Street, Jamaica Plain 02130.

    A major component of the cleanup will be the picking up and disposing of trash in the surrounding area. Another component will involve the physical removal and disposal of invasive species. Invasive species are a group of organisms that are not native to a specific area and are harmful to the native organisms. This is due to the competition for resources that they create among the native organisms.
