In 2025, CRWA is organizing two community science environmental surveys to understand baseline conditions along Cheesecake Brook compared to the restored Fuller Brook in Wellesley. 

Join CRWA staff and Wellesley’s Natural Resources Commission Director Brandon Schmitt for a guided walk along the restored Fuller Brook. You’ll learn how to use iNaturalist to catalog flora and fauna, collecting vital community science data for our “BioBlitz” biological survey.

Explore the impact of river restoration projects on the ecosystem and its biodiversity! Don’t miss out on this fun, family-friendly event.
