Calling River Walk Volunteers! Friday, November 1, 2024.

We are gathering community volunteers to lend a hand at River Walk as we refurbish the wattle fence that protects the historic oak on Bridge Street.

REGISTER TODAY! (Time to be determined)

This is a great opportunity to lend a hand and learn a skill for your own garden! The original wattle fence was installed by an ambitious Greenagers trail crew in league with our RW Greenagers interns.  The fence provides a circle of protection for the historic oak tree located near Bridge Street in front of the former Searles School.  Native perennials grown at River Walk are planted within the protected area to support soil health and provide opportunities for pollinators.

Join this joyful work experience!

W.E.B. Du Bois: I’ve Known Rivers

“W.E.B. Du Bois: I’ve Known Rivers” was held on August 27, 2022—the anniversary of Du Bois’s passing in Accra, Ghana, and the eve of the seminal March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom. A group of local organizations gathered at River Walk’s W.E.B. Du Bois River Park to honor Great Barrington’s iconic native son with an afternoon of readings and musical offerings.
