Programs

Alliance meetings are held for volunteers and advocates to share ideas, strategies, and advice, and to work together on broader issues affecting open space in Brookline. Our meetings include speakers and updates on critical issues and a forum for public comment. Recent meetings have focused on improving park maintenance with a Maintenance Map Pilot Program, a report from the chairman of the Massachusetts legislative Committee on Agriculture, Natural Resources and the Environment, and Larz Anderson Park restoration.

Field trips for the general public are offered on a regular basis to help people learn more about the urban forest, hidden sanctuaries, historic parks, wildlife and natural systems in Brookline. These free field trips are offered spring, summer and fall. Please check back soon for the 2008 schedule
