About the Weed Warriors Program
Developed by the SuAsCo CISMA, Weed Warriors empowers volunteers to take action against invasive species across the Sudbury, Assabet, and Concord watershed. The Land Trust participates as a host organization, offering Weed Warrior workdays on our conservation properties.

Volunteers also have the opportunity to participate in CISMA Weed Warrior trainings and events throughout the SuAsCo watershed. View the watershed-wide calendar here.

Together, we’re restoring landscapes and supporting healthier ecosystems.
