Mattahunt Woods Spring Community Clean-Up

In advance of the Mattahunt Woods Urban Wild's reopening later in the summer, join the City for a spring community clean-up event and a preview of the restoration project’s progress.

June 7, 2025
2025-06-07T10:00:00 - 2025-06-07T12:00:00

We hope you will join us for a spring clean-up at Mattahunt Woods. During this event, City staff will guide participants on a sneak peak tour of the restoration project. We will then work together to remove any lingering trash/debris in the property. For more information, visit the restoration project website here

Additionally, the City hopes to engage Mattapan residents - especially neighbors of the Mattahunt Woods Urban Wild - interested in forming and leading a Friends of Mattahunt Woods community group. While the City will be responsible for long-term maintenance and upkeep of Mattahunt Woods following the restoration project’s completion, we would like to help initiate a local Friends of Mattahunt Woods group to help build community stewardship. This event will be one step toward that long-term goal. 

MEETING LOCATION: Mattahunt Woods Colorado Street entrance, next to 199 Colorado Street, Mattapan, MA 02126

WHAT TO WEAR: Comfortable close-toed shoes, long pants, clothes that can get dirty, a hat that provides shade

WHAT TO BRING: Bug spray, sunscreen, water

Gloves, tools, and snacks will be provided

October 18, 2025
2025-10-18T10:00:00 - 2025-10-18T13:00:00

Fixit Clinics are free workshops where people bring broken stuff—from bikes to blenders to blazers—and volunteer Fixit Coaches share their time, tools, and know-how to help troubleshoot and (hopefully) repair items. These meet-ups build hands-on skills, confidence, community, and a culture of reuse and repair. The City of Boston Environment Department is partnering with Keep Hyde Park Beautiful to host one of these events at the Hyde Park Branch of the Boston Public Library.

WHAT SHOULD I BRING?
  • A broken gadget, small appliance, computer, toy, textile good, or other item

  • Useful tools and parts, if you have them

  • A description of what’s wrong and anything you’ve tried to fix it—advance online research is helpful

  • A desire to learn and share your knowledge!

These events are family-friendly and open to all. Interested in becoming a Fixit Coach yourself? Come lend a hand.
