What next? Green Westwood
Submitted by daveatkins on May 6, 2008 - 8:22pm.
That town meeting was an emotional drain. There will be plenty of time here to talk more about Westwood Station, but I'd like to point out a couple of events that are coming up related to environmental and sustainability issues.
- On Saturday, May 10, from 10am to 2pm, the Westwood Environmental Action Committee is hosting an Energy Fair at First Parish Hall to highlight ways we can save money and promote conservation and sustainability.
- The first annual Lowell Woods Day will happen on the same day, from 10am to 2pm, across the street from me at the Hanlon School.
Why not make a "Green Day" of it? The Environmental Action Committe has quickly organized and is working to make a difference in town. And Keep Our Town Clean has a beautiful website with stunning photos of parts of town that make us love this place and want to keep it clean. Their website will allow you to volunteer to help clean up a part of town that needs your help.

Trees lost on Canton Street
I drove down Canton Street the other day and was disappointed to see a huge area of cleared trees right after the NStar building. We were told the Westwood Station development was taking over a concrete wasteland. Well, they are just adding more concrete apparently. It was truly disturbing especially since there was a wild turkey standing on one of the stumps. I wish I had a camera. At one of the planning board meetings I attended I was impressed because they were discussing saving trees when putting up the sound and noise barrier. They actually did a walk through and fenced off certain trees. However, this patch of woods is now completely cleared. Hopefully, they will plant some more but I doubt it will be anything like the number they just took down. I think the Lowell Woods day is a fantastic idea and hope the day is a great one!
