Community Members Cleaning Up!WREN Visibility Site Cleanup - September 20, 2008    

Thank  you  to all the volunteers who helped at WREN's Visibility site clean up and flower bed planting this past Saturday, September 20th on Woburn's Neighborhood Day Weekend.  The visibility site is located off Route 128 , Rt 38 exit, EXIT 35, toward Woburn/Wilmington.

We had a good and productive day. Approximately 40 volunteers helped throughout the day long event. Volunteers worked from 9 AM to 3 PM digging out plants from the old flower beds and leveling off the soil. They then split the Stella D'oro daylilies, removed any visible weeds and sorted the daffodil and grape hyacinth bulbs for replanting. After shaping the new flower bed and making two large W's with the Stella D'oro daylilies the daffodil and hyacinth bulbs were replanted. Any left over plants and bulbs were given to some of the volunteers who took them home to plant in their yards.

Plans are under way for the delivery of cedar mulch later this week for the finishing work at the visibility site.

 
 WREN's visibility site project was coordinated by:

• Fel Medeiros – WREN

• Scott Gatchell - S.W. Gatchell Landscaping & Construction

• Cheryl Heimlich - Heimlich Nurseries of Woburn

• Talya Oberfield - Building Impact of Boston,

• Brian Grace - Woburn Pack 502 - Cub Master

• Andrew Gibson - SCI - Social Capital Inc of Woburn.

This project could not have taken place without the hard work of the many volunteers who came to help. We wish to once again express our gratitude to Brian Grace and Woburn Pack 502 Cub Scouts and their parents, Talya Oberfiels and friends plus the many other WREN friends and members who helped at this or other WREN projects throughout the year.
