Summary

Returning to the Greenspace program for a second year, the hardworking members of the East Shore group planted trees, shrubs and perennials in Pardee Seawall park and the surrounding neighborhood. Lead by community leaders, John and Jim, the group also removed invasive species growth on the northern bed of the park. The team is highly committed to community growth and stewardship as evidenced by their attendance at planting workshops and their commitment work to plant in their neighborhood in rain or shine.

Other activity

Removed invasive japanese knotweed.
