Waltham City Council Votes to Approve Purchase of UMass Field Station at WLT’s Urging
April 24, 2020
In the backdrop of a worldwide pandemic, after years of patience and uncertainty, one vote by Waltham City’s Council this week has made one thing certain: Waltham will continue to have a farm for generations to come.
After years of negotiations, the Waltham City Council voted unanimously—except for a recused vote—to approve the purchase of the land and buildings at 240 Beaver St., land once owned by Waltham benefactor Cornelia Warren.

Over 60 nature lovers of all ages came to Christ Church for a program with Rick Roth the Snake Man and the Cape Ann Vernal Pool Team . We were introduced to many snakes found in New England and the world. Members of the team walked through the audience with them so everyone could see up close and take photos. Afterwards, brave people who wanted to hold the legless reptiles were given that opportunity. Many thanks to the Waltham Cultural Council for supporting this event!
