Summary

Volunteers along Castle and Monroe Streets have been working since 2009 to improve the streetscapes of their neighborhood in Fair Haven. Though this summer’s work was certainly impacted by the COVID-19 crisis, neighbors still gathered for one big clean-up of the island at Alton and Monroe and completed two successful plantings along Monroe Street.
