The bridge was home base and Bob Thomason was the first volunteer to arrive.
Saturday’s block clean up was so much fun.
Large contingents from 40 & 50 Lincoln Road and the Maple Street School pitched in as did neighbors from around the community, all fueled by delicious bagels, coffee & tea donated by K-Dog.
Volunteers aged 2 through 83 worked hard, breaking up compacted soil, uprooting dandelions, removing litter, all to beautify the block we all share.
Dandelion destroying super heroine!
Tree pits and the planters in front of K-Dog, Lincoln Park Tavern and 40 Lincoln Road are now full of flowers, plants and soil generously donated by the Home Depot on Hamilton Avenue.
Thanks Hamilton Avenue Home Depot! The flowers, plants and soil look great.
This adorable family worked hard on the flower bed and planters. And the littlest member admired every worm she came across.
Most impressively, the truckload of wood chips donated by Brooklyn Forestry was impressively demolished by a handful of guys and gals equipped with Ikea bags and a few makeshift carts. Our custom tree pit guards are still under construction and eagerly anticipated as we work to maintain the progress we’ve made. Thanks and congratulations to everyone who gave their time and energy to this project. We did it!
Painting over graffiti is So much more fun than sleeping in.
