The Trails Advisory Committee of Norwood held a meeting on March 12, 2025, where members discussed upcoming community events aimed at enhancing local engagement and environmental awareness.

One of the key highlights was the scheduling of a series of community activities, including a farm walk in Walpole, which may coincide with Earth Day weekend in April. This event aims to connect residents with local agriculture and promote sustainable practices. The committee also noted the importance of the invasive species removal day at Cooper Park on April 26, organized by the New England Partnership for the Restoration of Aquatic Ecosystems (NEPARA). This initiative is expected to attract a significant number of volunteers, as past events have drawn between 20 to 25 participants.

Additionally, the committee is in the early planning stages for the Norwood Farmers Market, set to run from June to October. This market will provide residents with access to fresh produce and local goods, fostering community connections and supporting local farmers.

As the committee prepares for these events, they emphasize the importance of community involvement in maintaining and enhancing Norwood's natural spaces. The discussions reflect a commitment to environmental stewardship and community engagement, aligning with broader goals of promoting sustainability and local agriculture. Residents are encouraged to participate in these upcoming events to contribute to the health and vibrancy of their community.
