River Walk says Thank You to Big Y Volunteers!
An amazing team of 18 volunteers from Big Y’s Great Barrington and Lee stores teamed up to make a big difference at River Walk. They were welcomed by the GBLC River Walk Director Christine Ward and Greenagers River Walk Trail leaders Elia Del Molino and Jonah Gray. Thank you to Big Y Employee Service Representatives Carla Russo and Dena Welch for helping to organize this powerful day of service.
Together we accomplished an enormous spring effort! We emptied our huge compost bin into pickup trucks so that this organic material can be used in local composting facilities. We installed a new length of split rail fence to increase protection of the fragile riverbank area and we raked the area near the newly built bittersweet enclosure that protects the Bridge Street Red Oak Tree.
Thank you Big Y partners! You contributed over 60 volunteer hours for the care of River Walk, what a wonderful way to support community trails!
