Summary

The Rock Creek Park Greenspace group first formed in 2001 to prevent dumping on a privately owned corner lot at the end of a short cul-du-sac off of Rock Creek Park in West Rock. The group took a break from planting in 2004, when they were emeritus, but became active again in 2005 and 2006. The last two years the group has looked after basic maintenance of the site, which remains a beautiful natural enclave in this quiet neighborhood. The atlas cedars at its center make it particularly beautiful in the winter time.
