Over 30 people turned out for a day of repairing Blackstone Boulevard! Working near the entrance to Butler Hospital. Butler caregivers teamed up with the Conservancy (with vital help from the Parks Department) to “give back” to the Boulevard after their long strike. Following last week’s special aeration by a contractor, on Sunday the group built protective mulch rings around trees, spread loam for new grass seed, and raked the walking path back into shape. Yesterday, our wonderful Parks Department seeded the site – just in time for today’s rain.
