Twenty-two people, most of whom were from Temple Emunah in Lexington, plus a handful of WLT Stewards, removed “society’s sins” from the waters and banks of the Charles River in the third Reverse Tashlich we’ve organized with them as part of The International Jewish Waterfront Cleanup. We look forward to next year’s event! See all…
Fourteen yoga enthusiasts walked up to Little Prospect to celebrate the Autumnal Equinox by practicing yoga outside. We had to postpone this event twice! So happy it finally happened—the leaves were just starting to turn. Gorgeous! Thanks to instructor Jeanne Kelly for leading us! See all the pictures on our Flickr!
Thirteen people met by the Dog Ranch in North Waltham for a hike on the Western Greenway and its fabulous long boardwalk through the Met State property to Wellington Fields and back. WLT Steward Betty MacKenzie and City of Waltham Ranger Adam Green led the group. See all the pictures on our Flickr!
Join former employees of the Fernald School for a walk to the MetFern Cemetery on trails in Beaver Brook North Reservation. Once there, we’ll hear from art therapist/WLT Board member Barbara Marriott and her colleagues about the positive experiences they shared with residents while employed there.
All are welcome to help pick up litter along the paths from Shaw's to Moody Street (if we get that far). Bring work gloves if you have them; we'll provide them if you don't, plus trash bags and snacks. We hope to go as a group afterwards to a restaurant nearby for lunch and drinks. Please join us!
Help celebrate WLT’s successes from the past year by attending our annual meeting. Lynne Tolman, president of the Major Taylor Association , will present an illustrated talk about Major Taylor, "the Worcester Whirlwind." Learn the remarkable story of the 1899 world champion's life on and off the racetracks of the world, his connection to Waltham's rich cycling history, and how the legacy of this African American pioneer is shaping cycling today.
We're thrilled that 134 people registered for the Western Greenway 5K Trail Run/Walk and Kids' Monster Dash on October 25, 2026, with 106 folks crossing the finish line! Check out the results . Many thanks to everyone who participated as runners, walkers, Monster Dashers, volunteers, sponsors, and prize donors. We're still collecting photos and will post them on our flickr page soon.
WLT was thrilled to participate in the annual Waltham Farm Day once again, held at Waltham Fields Community Farm located at 240 Beaver Street. We had at least 30 folks of all ages stop by our outreach table to get information about nature journaling, local trails, and our upcoming events. Without prompting, several super smart children were happy to tell us that WLT's mascot, Hooty the Donation Owl, is a great horned owl. We were very impressed!
