We believe in building and supporting healthy communities with good schools, safe neighborhoods, strong public services, and most critically, a sound environment.
MetroWest is fortunate to be home to abundant and diverse natural resources, from wetlands, forests, and wildlife to rivers, lakes, and ponds. But these resources are not infinite. Home to a human population of more than 650,000 and strong corporate and industrial sectors, MetroWest’s natural resources face increased demands and threats like water pollution, invasive species, climate change, and other harmful impacts.
