Westford Invasive Species
The removal of many of the invasive species now found in Westford will help preserve the biodiversity, use and future welfare of our town. The Westford Invasive Species project has set a goal to eradicate mile-a-minute vine by pulling it out and disposing of it. If you can help, contact

Wetlands As we protect our wetlands, we protect our drinking water. Rain which falls drains
to wetlands and slowly percolates into the groundwater. If there were no wetlands
to absorb rain, water would flow directly and swiftly into our rivers and out
of Westford, depleting our drinking water aquifers. See how
wetlands work
Global Warming
Global warming and the resultant climate change is a complex issue.
It is both a scientific and a conservation matter that affects us
here in Westford. We believe that education is a critical part of
the remedy. We propose twelve
actions you can start taking today. What is at stake is nothing less
than our planet’s future. Learn and get involved. Read our brochure
