Almost 500 volunteers came out on April 28th to clean and beautify 12 sites along the Greenway!

You plucked 200 tires from the river, filled three 30-yard dumpsters, painted benches, garbage cans & signs, mulched loads of planting beds & tree wells, started work on a 1400 sq ft mural, built a fence, and fixed a shed. Not bad for 4 hours of work!
