Note that we limit event listings mainly to free or inexpensive public events in Wellesley, such as talks, films, theatre productions, concerts, etc. This is not a place for businesses to promote themselves, their classes, etc. Please don’t submit events that run for weeks and weeks. We approve event listings before they go live, typically within 24 hours.
No business sales, trunk shows, etc. (those would be paid advertisements). Please go easy on the ALL CAPS, exclamation points!!!!, etc.

Gas-powered leaf blower discussion in Wellesley
July 28 @ 1:00 pm - 2:00 pm
Sustainable Wellesley, Wellesley’s Natural Resources Commission and the town’s Sustainable Energy Committee are behind an online discussion that will take place on Tuesday, July 28 from 1-2pm on the topic of what to do about gas-powered leaf blowers. There’s a move afoot to encourage a transition from gas-powered to electric to help reduce noise and pollution.
Taking part in the discussion will be:
- Jamie Banks, founder of Quiet Communities
- Dan Mabe, founder of American Green Zone Alliance
- Brendan McCue, Strategic Sourcing Manager at the Commonwealth of Massachusetts’ Operational Services Division
- David Pinsonneault, Public Works Director for the Town of Lexington, which has begun a transition from gas- to electric-powered gear
