Check out our new Street Squad volunteer opportunity!

Volunteers gathered in May to prepare the flower planters and rainwater barrels for the upcoming installation along Deering Avenue. Many thanks to the volunteers and team at LoanMax who provided much needed water access to help fill up the water barrels and provide a buffer until the next rainstorm. 

This event was part of a new Street Squad initiative organized by the Green, Clean & Sustainable team.  Moving forward, the Street Squad will meet monthly on third Tuesdays from 5:30-6:30PM to tackle small projects and beautify the neighborhood. The focus of the next meet-up on June 16 will be to tidy the tree wells along Forest Avenue, by weeding and applying mulch to help suppress future weeds. We will also be planting a small native pollinator garden or "Green Drop" in a treeless tree well, as an ecological place holder, until a new tree is installed. 

Sign-up here to volunteer at the next Street Squad event!
