"I want to acknowledge the person who really got this thing rolling...and I do of course mean, Barbie," Newton Alderman-at-Large Brian Yates said during a ribbon cutting at Hemlock Gorge Monday afternoon.

Volunteers to Clean Up Hemlock Gorge
Help out this weekend by picking up around this Needham/Newton park.
Hemlock Gorge in the fall is one of the most beautiful places in the area. This weekend, volunteers will work to keep it that way. People interested in preserving the area's natural beauty can join together this weekend to help clean up Hemlock Gorge Reservation, a 23-acre park along the Charles River in Newton and Needham.
