  • Newton South’s Marine Biology Shark Team;
  • Newton North’s Nicaragua Ecology Trip;
  • SGW’s community outreach.

SGW will also present the 2018 Wild Boar Awards, which will be followed by a presentation of the Green Newton’s 2018 Environmental Leadership Awards to an individual, a local organization, and a Newton business.  Waneta Trabert, Newton’s Director of Environmental Affairs, will receive Green Newton’s Award to an individual. Mothers Out Front Newton will receive our award to a community group, and Byggmeister Design Build will receive our award to a local business.  We hope you will join us to honor the outstanding work by our awardees to increase the environmental sustainability of our community.
