NACC goes groovy with ‘70s concert

have a vast cultural diverse background. I am intensely invested and continue to bring awareness to the lack of mental health resources within our community here in Northborough and in our schools.

Why are you running?

I am running to help bridge the gap between the mental health setbacks our schools, staff/administration and most importantly our babies are facing every day. There are no sides to choose here. Remember our goal is to vote in a member who will be diverse, and advocate for the parents, not themselves. I am running to help create a team within the Northborough School Committee, not a side. It takes a village to raise our babies, let us set the example and work together as a team to support our village of Northborough.

Westborough named ‘Tree City USA’ for 2022

WESTBOROUGH – Westborough was named a 2022 Tree City USA by the Arbor Day Foundation to honor its commitment to effective urban forest management.

Westborough achieved Tree City USA recognition by meeting the program’s four requirements: maintaining a tree board or department; having a tree care ordinance; dedicating an annual community forestry budget of at least $2 per capita; and hosting an Arbor Day observance and proclamation.

The Tree City USA program is sponsored by the Arbor Day Foundation in partnership with the U.S. Forest Service and the National Association of State Foresters.

“Tree City USA communities see the positive effects of an urban forest firsthand,” said Dan Lambe, chief executive of the Arbor Day Foundation. “The trees being planted and cared for by Westborough are ensuring that generations to come will enjoy a better quality of life. Additionally, participation in this program brings residents together and creates a sense of civic pride, whether it’s through volunteer engagement or public education.”
