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.

BotaFogo, meaning “to set on fire”, is a great workout that combines dance and fitness all in one. Much like other dance fitness programs, it involves cardio and some strength training. 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!
