Tree Watertown Volunteers Promote Invasive Species Awareness and Appreciation for Urban Forests

Tree Watertown serves the community through the development and presentation of educational initiatives, and tree-planting projects throughout the year. The group has been active for over 20 years and is always welcoming new members with an interest and passion for trees.


Piping Plovers & Invasive Species

Piping plovers are important to our ecosystem. As an indicator species, they tell biologists if the beach ecosystem is healthy. Invasive species impact their nesting habitat as plovers do not like nesting in areas of dense vegetation; they prefer wide, expansive stretches of beach to prevent predators from sneaking up on them and their chicks.
