[Solidarity] Save Crane Ledge Woods Stand Out

Saturday, Mar 26

Our friends at Save Crane Ledge Woods write:

For decades, a 24-acre forest, known locally as Crane Ledge Woods and designated as an urban wild, has been inaccessible and mostly unknown to the surrounding neighborhoods of southwest Boston - Hyde Park, Roslindale and Mattapan. Now a multinational property company intends to construct 10 buildings containing 270 rental units, 415 parking spaces and several roads on this land. From a beautiful green space of crucial wildlife habitats - shady forest, flower-filled meadows, rocky alcoves and vernal pools - the proposed project would turn Crane Ledge Woods into an immense urban heat island of impervious asphalt and concrete. This ecological devastation would rob our local wildlife of their homes, and its gentrifying effect would force many of us and our neighbors out of ours.

Meet for the standout at Walgreen's Parking Lot, 980 American Legion Highway, Roslindale, MA. Signs will be available.
