Medicinal Plant Walk at Danehy Park
Join herbalist Mo Katz-Christy for a walk through Danehy Park to identify plants and their medicinal uses! We will explore weeds and cultivated plants, trees and shrubs, and have lots of time for questions and conversation. Bring a notebook if you like, and meet us at the parking lot on Sherman Street (if you’re late you should be able to find us – we won’t move too far too fast!).
Bicycle Education
The City provides bicycle education to youth, adults, and seniors through workshops, events, and print publications.
FY25 Tax Rate Letter
This letter summarizes information contained in the City Manager’s recommendations for the required votes by the City Council to establish the FY25 residential and commercial tax rates by the Board of Assessors and the Massachusetts Department of Revenue.
