Image may contain: plant, flower, tree, sky, outdoor and nature
Volunteers needed to help weed the gardens at Roberts Field Pollinator Park, Skate Shack and Trailhead gardens,  Mostly hand pulling and trimming. Free mint plants too!! (You dig)

We need a few volunteers Monday and Wednesday, September 17th & 19th at 10:30am.

Volunteers should park behind Engine 3 Fire Station and meet at Skate Shack. Come for an hour or more. We’ll bring some waters and get some bags from the DPW. If you can help, please join us for an hour or two.  Many hands make lighter work.

For more information please contact Sandie Rainey at 978-833-4601 or send an email to info@friendsofrobertsfield.org.

Thank you!

Wildlife at Roberts Field

Roberts Field in Chelmsford, MA is probably best known for its baseball and soccer fields, and the playground Friendship Park. However, Roberts Field is also home to a diverse variety of wildlife including insects, frogs, snakes, turtles, birds, deer, squirrels, rabbits, and the occasional black bear. Here are a few pictures of some of the wildlife found at Roberts Field, including a video of an American Black Bear on the trails at Roberts Field.

Here’s a video of the black bear walking through the trails near Jonathon Lane.
