BY EMILY SAPERIA ● October 1, 2025 ● The Waltham Times Over 35 Waltham Land Trust members, local officials and community members gathered at 170 Lakeview Ave. on Saturday to celebrate WLT’s purchase of a new 0.8 acre Hardy Pond-adjacent parcel for conservation and public recreation. The purchase expands Lakeview Preserve, which was purchased by the Land Trust…

Stretch and hold in a field at Met State with Jeanne Kelly, a popular yoga instructor at the Waltham YMCA. To get the WLT Member pricing, login when registering for the event. Rain date is October 10th.  

Join us for a 1.5-mile leisurely walk on the Pondside Walkway, starting at 1:30pm, to learn about ongoing stewardship efforts to protect Hardy Pond, enjoying sights of nature along the way. We’ll end at the Land Trust’s Lakeview Preserve at 3:00pm to check out the new land we purchased in June.

Please join members of 350 Mass Waltham and the Waltham Land Trust as we clean up the Charles River Greenway. This area is a beautiful walking and biking path, and since it does not have any trashcans, can get dirty from time to time.

Don’t miss this fun, annual event for all ages with lots of community group tables, kids’ activities, entertainment, and snacks to purchase.
