Sustainable Westport
Sustainable Westport is proud to announce the launch of its newest community initiative, Your Yard, Our Climate, created in collaboration with a coalition of local partners. This program invites Westport residents to reimagine their outdoor spaces as powerful tools in the fight against climate change — demonstrating that meaningful environmental progress can start right at home.
From April through June 2025, Your Yard, Our Climate will feature a series of engaging events and educational programs designed to help residents transform their yards into vibrant, climate-positive habitats. Led by local experts, we will explore practical, impactful ways to rethink lawns, support pollinators, choose native plantings, and adopt sustainable landscaping practices — no matter the size of the property.
The initiative emphasizes the significant role that personal choices in our outdoor spaces play in addressing the climate crisis. Whether it’s planting trees that improve air quality, reducing lawn space to support biodiversity, or shifting to eco-friendly yard care practices, each action contributes to a healthier, more climate-friendly Westport — and planet.
Residents are encouraged to take part in the full lineup of events this spring and discover how small changes in their own backyards can have a big impact. With the support of our program partners, Your Yard, Our Climate aims to inspire lasting change by showing that the future of our climate is rooted in the actions we take today.
Free Tutoring for Elementary and Middle School Students
We have free tutoring to offer at the Westport Library, where high school students help elementary and middle school students with their homework. Tutoring hours are Monday-Thursday, 4 pm - 7 pm, and students can attend as many times as they want. The schedule may change depending on tutor availability, so please check the schedule on the library website before you come! Schedule link.
Westport Fire Chief Nick Marsan is encouraging all Westport residents to register for Community Connect, an innovative platform designed to enhance emergency response efficiency.
“Community Connect is a valuable tool for our community,” Chief Marsan emphasized. “By having access to key details—like primary contact persons, gate codes, special needs, basement/attic bedrooms, or even the presence of pets—we can manage and resolve emergency situations more efficiently. This proactive approach ensures we’re prepared to serve our residents when it matters most.” Community Connect allows residents to share essential and unique information about their households, helping first responders and emergency personnel deliver faster and more effective service.
