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.

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

Bota Fogo utilizes visual cues making it more accessible to both Deaf and hearing dancers. Come break a sweat to the sounds of Brazilian music genres such as Samba, funk, pagode, and more. The best part is, it doesn’t require previous dance experience! Just follow the instructor and have fun!
